Banyan Tree moves into the second quarter of 2011 with new awards under its belt, bringing its total tally to 685 awards, since it first started 17 years ago. Positive votes from the readers of Condé Nast Traveller, DestinAsian, TTG China and I-S Magazine Singapore, contributed to the Group’s awards haul. With the endorsement of its guests and readers from these prestigious publications, Banyan Tree is well poised to embark on its aggressive phase of expansion, which will see five more properties opening this year, starting with Banyan Tree Macau on 15 May.
