(HONG KONG & MACAU, 12 January 2012) – Galaxy Macau™ was recently named "2011 Best Integrated Resort" at the Top Travel Awards, a leading program organized by Top Travel Magazine, a professional travel industry publication. The awards ceremony was held in Beijing on December 6, 2011.

Accepting the award on Galaxy Macau's behalf was Raymond Yap, Senior Vice President of International Premium Marketing Development for Galaxy Entertainment Group. "This is a wonderful honor to receive," Mr. Yap said. "Galaxy Macau was built to offer things that had never been seen in the market before, like true resort features and our famous 'World Class, Asian Heart' service standards. With the world's largest skytop wave pool, three five-star hotel partners, and more than 50 quality restaurants and bars, Galaxy Macau is an extraordinary, game-changing property. Just recently we opened UA Galaxy Cinemas, which has broken attendance records and revolutionized filmgoing in Macau. Coming up next is the February 29 opening of our spectacular new performance bar and lounge, China Rouge. We would like to thank Top Travel and its readers, and we're looking forward to being their number 1 integrated destination resort again next year!"
