Please note this award is not the “fake awards” you see other business posting on their webpage. ATA could have won those awards in addition, if we wanted to pay. Yes pay, dont believe everything you see online, just like fake Russian news stories there are fake awards. ATA even had a chance to be one of the ten best US hiking spas on the tv show best spas in America, however it would have cost $25,000. So dont even believe the tv, those top resort shows etcetera are just paid commercials.
