2017 National Travel Industry Awards

When you travel, you want to know you’re going with the best. The National Travel Industry Awards were announced this week, with a few of our preferred vendors taking out top honours.

In particular, we’d like to congratulate APT Touring for winning the ‘Best river cruise operator’ award, and Royal Caribbean International for taking out ‘Best cruise operator’ awards for both domestic and international deployment.

We’d also like to salute ‘Best travel writer’ Julie Miller for her wonderful story about the Asian Elephant Hospital in Thailand.
