Since 2017, Traveller Made® has been honoring its best luxury Travel Designers during The Luxury Travel Industry Awards ceremony.
Again this year we revealed the most influent luxury Travel Designers in the world elected by both Hotels & Destination Management Companies (DMC). We also wanted to extend this award ceremony to our other valued professionals of the luxury travel industry and celebrated Hotel & DMC Partners who were the best at using our key Traveller Made® tools this year.
The Welcome Cocktail and Gala dinner were held in Finca La Conception’s gardens where guests were able to enjoy an outside candle-lid evening, overseeing the venue.
Over 900 guests participated in this evening: Nuria Rodriguez (Andalucia), Francisco Salado (Costa Del Sol), Felix Romero (Marbella), Pierre-Yves Poulain (Serendipia), Jean-Phillipe Lafont (Opera Singer), Victoire de Taillac (Officine Universelle Buly), Edouard Bocon-Gibod (Christie’s), Winston Chesterfield (Wealth-X), 55 journalists from international press and our valued Members & Partners.
Hosted by M. Quentin Desurmont, Traveller Made®’s President, Mrs. Diana Nuber, Traveller Made®’s Partnerships Director & M. Peter Conway, Traveller Made®’s Memberships Director, The Luxury Travel Industry Awards honored 16 Hotels, DMCs and Members, and 1 Preferred Destination all voted by the Traveller Made® community itself.
