For the past four years, OHG has surveyed its 18,000 subscribers which the organization describes as "travel agents who book a higher-than-average number of hotel rooms," to reveal their personal favorites in hotels throughout the world.

"Our readers are considered the hotel experts in the travel industry," says William D. Scott II, publisher of Official Hotel Guide. "You won't find any more qualified group to rate the industry."

Wayne Wielgus, Best Western International's vice president of Worldwide Marketing and Sales agrees with the findings. "Throughout the world, Best Western consistently provides quality accommodations at an affordable price. I am pleased that travel agents and other industry professionals recognize our brand's performance and continue to book a large volume of rooms with us," he says.
