Aspire will be honouring luxury travel agents for the first time next year.
The Aspire Awards 2014 will be handed out as part of next year’s Agent Achievement Awards in April.
Agents will be recognised in four categories. Three of the awards require entries to be self-nominated – or you can nominate someone who you believe would be a worthy winner. The fourth award will be decided by the Aspire team.
The awards will be held at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel on London’s South Bank opposite the Houses of Parliament, on April 30.
Travel Weekly Group editor-in-chief Lucy Huxley said: “This year we are taking the AAAs to the next level to make sure they are a fitting tribute to the very best of our readers, wherever they work. We have introduced Aspire categories within these awards to make sure the cream of the luxury agent community is recognised and celebrated.”
