Respondents to the survey commissioned by TUI, which handles bookings for 12,000 hotel units around the globe, picked Grecotel as their favoured place to stay when vacationing.
Grecotel owns 10 out of the world`s 100 top hotels. The group`s Creta Palace in Rethymno, Crete was recently voted the world`s best five-star hotel.
The TUI survey was conducted by an independent research firm and clients were questioned upon returning from their holiday.
In 1998-99, the TUI Group recorded an annual turnover of 14 billion marks compared to the previous year`s figure of 9.3 billion marks.
