GLOBE TRAVEL AWARDS 2015 — PREVIEW
WINNING WORDS
What does it feel like to take home a Globe? Here’s what this year’s winners said
Best Luxury Rail Service: Rocky Mountaineer Gold Leaf We’re overwhelmed to win this award. We’ve
come such a long way in the past few years, working much more closely with the trade – this support from agents means so much to all of us. Craig Upshall, business development manager
Best Short-Haul Airline:
Jet2.com We’re delighted. When we started we wanted to be
the agent-friendly airline – we’ve always really appreciated the support from the trade. Steve Lee, commercial director
Best Consolidator: Gold Medal As a trade-only operator we support agents with
great service, product and incentives and we’ve been strengthening our relationship with third-party agents. Ruth Hilton, head of sales and business development
Best Technology Provider: Travelport It’s fabulous to win this agent-voted award for a second year running. It’s a great vote of confidence in the innovation
Travelport has delivered throughout the year. Simon Ferguson, managing director UK and Ireland
Best UK Hotel Chain: Hilton In the past year we’ve expanded our properties
across the UK and it’s wonderful to have this recognition from travel agents up and down the country.
Jane Richardson, leisure sales director
Best Touring Operator and Best Trade Sales Team: Trafalgar We’re over the moon. It’s a real honour to come to
a fantastic event like this, at a great venue, and come out with an award that’s been voted for wholly by the travel trade. Paul Melinis, sales director (now head of sales at Insight Vacations)
Best Long-Haul Specialist Operator: Wendy Wu Tours This is the fourth year we’ve won. We invest
heavily in our work with agents so I think this is indicative of the effort that we put in. Laurence Hicks, managing director
Best Activity & Adventure Operator: Club Med We are absolutely ecstatic. We have tried our best to be a lot more communicative with the travel trade, and do a lot more joint marketing with our agents, so we’re really pleased that effort has finally paid off. Joy Lacana, agency sales manager
Best Trade-Friendly Brand: Do Something Different This is a testament to all the work we have put in to
growing the brand for the trade. Annabel Cove, business development manager
Best Short-Haul Operator: Classic Collection Holidays This is down to our consistent personal
service. We look after agents – they are key to our success. David Hayes, head of IT
