Globes 2015: Winners revealed

The travel trade’s favourite suppliers have been honoured at the Travel Weekly Globe Travel Awards in London.

The awards are voted for entirely by UK travel agents, with additional consumer awards voted for by readers of Mail Newspapers.

The event, at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane, was hosted once again by comedian Jack Whitehall and Travel Weekly editor-in-chief Lucy Huxley, with entertainment provided by performers including X-Factor runner-up Fleur East.

Big winners on the night included Attraction World, which was named Best Add-ons Provider in addition to scooping the awards for Most Trade-friendly Brand and Best Trade Sales Team.

Sister companies Trafalgar and Insight Vacations and Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises all picked up awards, while Travel 2, Brand USA and Crystal were among the new winners.
