The annual was first introduced in 2014 by JALPAK to select most
favoured restaurants and hotels by a poll among tourists.
The Furama resort was one of five hotels in Asia that won the award from
JALPAK.
General Manager of Furama Resort Da Nang Matthias Wiesmann said Japan was one
of the top three tourism markets for the beach resort.
He said the resort offered unique services for tourists from Japan by employing
Japanese staff and exchanging cuisine programmes among Vietnamese and Japanese
chefs.
The resort was one of the largest importers in central Vietnam of Kobe beef
from Japan, he said.
Earlier, the Furama resort won two other trophies – the Luxury Ocean View
Resort and the Luxury Wedding Destination – at the prestigious World Luxury
Hotel Awards in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
