At the annual Night of Stars event, held on 19 January at Ivy Ballroom in Sydney, the Scenic Group recognised the 2018 achievements of the top performing travel agencies and consultants in Australia and New Zealand.
More than 240 guests attended the prestigious evening, hosted by Catriona Rowntree and David Whitehill, reflecting the theme of product and marketing innovation and excellence. The gala event featured entertainment ranging from a Cuban inspired opening, to a New York Jazz Band and a grand finale inspired by cabaret and a vintage circus ensemble.
During the ceremony, six national honours were presented, along with awards to the top offices in each state for both the Scenic and Evergreen brands. Ten agents were awarded Diamond status for 2018 as part of Scenic’s specialist partner program.
Group General Manager, Sales & Marketing Australia/Asia Pacific, Anthony Laver, extended his congratulations to all the nominees and winners.
“This year, the Scenic Group showcased more than three decades of innovation and excellence, the success of which is closely aligned with the strong relationships we have with our partner agents and consultants,” Mr Laver said. “The Night Stars event is our chance to recognise those outstanding achievements.”
