WORLD TRAVEL AWARDS
At the 2015World Travel Awards ceremony,
one of the presenters made a comment that
made Pistil smile.
“You must be doing something right,” the
presenter mused.
The numbers and accolades don’t lie; they’ve
definitely set the tone, and continue to run
away with the accolade of Tobago’s lead-
ing hotel. The evidence is irrefutable: In 15
years, Blue Haven has been given the honor
eight times – including six times in a row,
from 2009 to 2015 – since re-opening. For
all the hardships that the property has faced,
the award is a shared accomplishment.
“It means a lot,” Pistil said. “It’s a tribute to
our staff for their friendly service and of
course, sets us apart from the rest because if
you get an award and you’re chosen for this
award by over 200,000 travel professionals, it
sets a good benchmark in the industry.”
