On January 16 the travel industry gathered at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel to celebrate the 30th annual Travel Weekly Globe Awards.
Guest host Dara O’Briain handed out forty awards to the best and brightest suppliers in the travel industry, as voted for by the people who know – the travel agents up and down the country who use their services every day.
