Phoenix, Arizona – Best Western Hotels & Resorts today announced that it has been named AAA/CAA's 2019 Lodging Partner of the Year, marking the eleventh consecutive time that the global hospitality powerhouse has won the esteemed accolade. In addition, the company earned "Best in Travel Agency Support" and "Best in Member Service" awards in the Lodging categories. The awards were presented on October 21, at the 2019 AAA/CAA Travel Conference awards dinner, held in Seattle, Washington. Among the audience were AAA/CAA senior level travel staff from various AAA/CAA clubs and both national offices, as well as other preferred partners.

As one of the largest full-service leisure travel organizations, AAA/CAA asks stakeholders from across North America each year to vote on the awards.
