Winners on the night included many familiar brands including Royal Caribbean International, Rocky Mountaineer and Do Something Different. Jennifer Callister, Sarah Revell & Graham Hennessy share with ITTN what winning a Travel Globe means to their brands.
Graham Hennessy, County Manager for Ireland & Scotland – Do Something Different, shared “So happy that DoSomethingDifferent.com was named Best Add-Ons Provider at the Travel Weekly Globe Awards last night. The competition was fierce and means a lot for us to have received the votes and support from our travel agent partners. The award and support we get is testament to our staff who firmly believe in putting our customers first. Even more reason to extend and celebrate this bank holiday weekend”
Sarah Revell told ITTN “Rocky Mountaineer are delighted to win Best Rail Company at the Travel Weekly Globes. This award means the world to us, especially after the difficult last two years we have all had. The support from our Travel Agent partners is as always, hugely appreciated and we can’t wait to get more people onboard this year!”
Jennifer Callister, head of sales for Ireland, commented to ITTN: “This award is the culmination of the incredible hard work from Royal teams across the world and I’m so pleased we have been recognised by the Travel Weekly Globe Awards for the 15th time.
