"After being in the industry for more than 15 years, you could say we have learned the secret sauce to success, and we advise our clients to adjust certain things in their business to be a desirable candidate for these award programs. So much of our success in this space depends on working with luxury hotels and resorts who understand great customer service and who communicate regularly with their guests - since both Conde Nast and Travel + Leisure are based on their readers' experiences. Congratulations to all of our clients on these outstanding achievements."
