Efforts to develop the city’s harbour areas
and a high standard of tourist attractions win international attention for
Copenhagen at the Bon Voyage Awards 2014.
Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) beat off competition from St. Petersburg and
Helsinki to win the Best Baltic Port award, as announced yesterday at the Bon
Voyage Awards 2014.
The international travel resource Bon Voyage Magazine is an online portal for
cruise guests, and presents cruise awards in four main categories.
The Best Baltic Port award comes under the Destinations category. Within the
same category, Shanghai was named Best Asian Port and Venice won Best Eastern
Mediterranean Port.
Bon Voyage Magazine is dedicated to the cruise industry. It provides useful
advice for new and seasoned travellers alike on topics such as choosing a ship
and the best sights to see, with beautiful photographs and informative articles.
The jury’s reasons for selecting Copenhagen include the city’s recreational
harbour areas, surrounded by areas such as Langelinie and Nyhavn. An
excellent mix of shops, businesses and attractions welcome cruise guests,
providing an opportunity to take in the wonderful atmosphere while listening to
waves breaking against the quayside.
“We are thrilled to have won yet another award,” says Arnt Møller Pedersen,
General Manager Cruise at Copenhagen Malmö Port. “This confirms our leading
position in the Baltic region. Of course, this has only been possible thanks to
the assistance of our fantastic partners.”
One of these partners is Wonderful Copenhagen, which is also delighted that
cruise guests continue to appreciate Copenhagen as a destination.
“Here at Wonderful Copenhagen, we work to put Copenhagen on the world map and to
keep attracting more tourists,” adds Claus Bødker, Director Cruise Network
Copenhagen at Wonderful Copenhagen. “This award is therefore extremely important
to us.” |
