The AFTA National Travel Industry Awards were held on Saturday 21 July in the Grand Ballroom of the International Convention Centre in Sydney. Proudly presented by Qantas, this esteemed travel industry event saw many recognised across a number of categories recognising excellence in the Australian travel industry.
The evening was a great success for Qantas Holidays & Viva! Holidays taking out the Best Wholesaler Australian Product for the first time, having been nominated in both 2016 and in 2017.
Head of Wholesale and Inbound for Qantas Holidays and associated brands, Cinzia Burnes, accepted the award and congratulated the Qantas Holidays teams for their award winning effort. She also thanked the industry for acknowledging their achievements.
“We are very proud and excited to have won Best Wholesaler Domestic Product for Qantas Holidays and Viva Holidays” she said, also recognising key areas such as brochure range and specialist staff as reasons behind their success.
“We have continued to put out the most comprehensive brochure range covering all states and territories in Australia, as well as dedicated specialty brochures such as the Signature Brochures range showcasing Luxury product and Unique Rail Journeys.”
“Specialisation of our staff is also a tremendous asset to our brand. Our staff put a lot of work into best quoting and recommendations to specifically suit agents to deliver the very best they can for their clients travelling in and around Australia.” she added.
The Best Wholesaler Australian Product Award recognises a company that packages Australian products operated by other suppliers and offers these packages for sale via the retail travel agency sector.
Qantas Holidays & Viva! Holidays were also a finalist in the Best Wholesaler International Product, an award they also won last year in the 2017 NTIA.
