Phuket has won a 'Favoured Travel Destination' recognition from Spies, a Danish tour operator and member of the My Travel Group. The information was released by the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The island was voted for by more than 190,000 visitors as the top travel destination from a choice of 34. Tour operator Spies conducted the poll during the summer season and announced the results in late August. Kent Ruasner, manager of Spies in Thailand, said that Phuket received the highest score of 4.8 out of a possible five points from questionnaire respondents. Approximately 93 per cent of respondents said they would like to revisit Phuket. In the question “Did the destination give you the best visit-experience for the money paid?" Phuket was also given the highest rate of 4.7 .
