Winner: Specialist Luxury Operator of the Year

This is the first time we've entered the Aspire Awards, and we were humbled to be awarded ‘Specialist Luxury Operator of the Year’. Additionally, our business development manager Andrew Tait was nominated and then awarded 'Unsung Hero of the Year (Supplier)', which couldn’t make us prouder. This award came from being nominated by agents and many commented on his passion for our product and destinations and his willingness to go the extra mile. A big thank you to all our agents who participated in the process!

Wanderlust World Guide Awards

Top Tour Leaders: Brett Plotz & Richard Farmer

We’re very proud of all our Insider Tour Leaders – it’s a 24/7 job and requires a lot of organisation, passion and stamina to lead our small group tours - so it was great to see Tokyo-based Brett win this award in 2019 and Kansai-based Richard be shortlisted in 2021. Wanderlust readers said their “understanding of Japanese heritage was second to none” and their “love of Japan and allowed us all to feel part of the culture too.” Want to see for yourself? Check out Brett’s virtual tour of the Asakusa district in Tokyo and Richard’s virtual tour of Nara.
