Legoland bags tourism award

FOR the second time, Legoland Malaysia Resort clinched the coveted Excellence Award for Best Attraction & Tourism Experience at the ninth edition of Expatriate Lifestyle’s Best of Malaysia Award, which was held at Club Esperance in Fraser Business Park, Kuala Lumpur on Oct 28.

Other attractions competing in the same category included Sunway Lagoon, Aquaria Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and the Kuala Lumpur Tower.

The Best of Malaysia award celebrates the finest in the travel and hospitality industry and is organised annually by Expatriate Lifestyle.

The nominees are nominated and voted for by well-travelled expatriates living in Malaysia.

This year, a record-breaking 30,000 votes were cast in over 18 categories, all chosen from shortlists over a 13-week voting period. The voting period ended on Oct 1.

Upon receiving the recognition, Legoland Malaysia Resort general manager Mark Germyn said: “We truly appreciate this recognition. It really goes to show that our resort is a great place for families.

“We will continue to strive to be the best, not just in Malaysia, but in Asia as well.

“This marks a great way to end 2014 and we look forward to more success in 2015.”

The awards were presented by the event’s guest of honour — the newly appointed British High Commissioner to Malaysia Vicki Treadell, Expatriate Lifestyle editor Ian Johnston and Guinness Anchor Breweries marketing director Bruce Dallas.

The night saw 18 trophy winners, with 54 others receiving Excellence Award certificates.

Legoland Malaysia Resort brings together a theme park, water park and hotel in one Lego-themed location in Nusajaya.

It is a family holiday destination, with more than 70 hands-on rides, slides, shows and attractions, designed for families with children aged 2 to 12.

It is the first of its kind in Asia and offers adventure, education and fun for action-packed day trips or as a short break destination.
