Countdown on for the ttgluxury Travel Awards

The event, now in its second year following a successful day in 2018, will return to the ballroom of Rosewood London on February 22.

The winners of four categories of travel agency awards will be revealed to the audience, highlighting the talents of individual travel designers and shops as well as larger luxury retail businesses.

Detailed agent entries for the awards have been scrutinsed by a panel of experienced luxury and industry experts in order to identify the winners.

The recipient of the Contribution to Luxury award will also be revealed, with ttgluxury putting one of the industry’s most revered advocates for luxury travel in the spotlight.

Last year’s award was given to Justin Wateridge (pictured), managing director of Steppes Travel and widely respected for striving to offer thoughtful and intelligent travel experiences and opening up new destinations.

The ttgluxury Travel Awards is a lunchtime event, with live musical entertainment mixed with key networking opportunities around the presentation of the 13 awards.

Suppliers to be recognised will include hotel groups, tour operators, airlines and cruise lines following ratings made by luxury travel agents.

The winner of the Best New Luxury Hotel of 2018 will also be crowned, as picked by a committee of luxury and travel journalists and editors.

“There is no other event like it here in the UK,” said editor of ttgluxury April Hutchinson. “Each category is agonised over by various parts of our community and I can’t wait to reveal and recognise the winners, as well as congratulating all the wonderful finalists.”

“This afternoon awards event offers a great chance to network with, and praise, a wide range of companies and individuals in a convivial setting at our partner hotel for the event, Rosewood London.”
