After the NTIA award winners gratefully accepted their honours at this year\u2019s Gala Dinner held at Crown Melbourne on Saturday here is how they responded.<\/strong><\/p>\n Club Med took home two awards, winning Most Popular Accommodation Group for the third consecutive year and Most Outstanding Sales Executive \u2013 Wholesaler, recognising Giovanny Palacio, Business Development Manager for New South Wales.<\/p>\n The two wins are a significant recognition from the Australian travel industry, with the Most Popular Accommodation Group award voted for by Travel Agents across Australia. Club Med extends its sincere thanks to its Travel Agent partners for their continued support, trust and advocacy, which has helped the brand secure the award for three consecutive years, as well as recognising the excellence in its sales team.<\/p>\n \u201cTo be recognised by our Travel Agent partners as Most Popular Accommodation Group for three years running is an incredible achievement, and we are deeply grateful for the trust and support that has earned us this recognition,\u201d Michelle Davies, General Manager for Club Med Pacific and New ESAP Markets said. \u201cTo take home a second award this year, Most Outstanding Sales Executive recognising Giovanny Palacio is a wonderful reflection of the strength of our people and the relationships we have built across the travel industry.<\/p>\n \u201cOur Travel Agent partnerships are at the heart of Club Med\u2019s success, so to see this recognised alongside our continued support from the trade is particularly meaningful. It is a testament to the dedication of our team and the trust our partners place in us to deliver memorable experiences for their clients.<\/p>\n \u201cThese awards come at an exciting time for Club Med, as we continue to evolve the brand and invest in our resort portfolio and development pipeline, bringing new destinations and experiences to our guests, including the highly anticipated openings of Borneo, Koh Samui and Manado in Indonesia. We\u2019re incredibly proud of what our teams and trade partners have achieved together, and we look forward to continuing to give our partners even more reasons to recommend Club Med to their clients.\u201d<\/p>\n FCM Travel took home the award for the NTIA\u2019s Most Outstanding Global Travel Company.<\/p>\n \u201cWinning Most Outstanding Global Travel Company amongst so many industry leaders means a lot to all of us at FCM,\u201d general manager ANZ of FCM Travel, Renos Rologas, said.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a big year for the team. We\u2019ve been heads down building things we genuinely believe will change how business travel feels for our customers, like Sam, our AI assistant that helps travellers and travel managers get answers and get moving, faster.<\/p>\n \u201cThe corporate travel market is crowded, and everyone competes on a different strength, be it scale, capability, digital experience or innovation. However, it\u2019s important to us that our customers never compromise on any of those strengths.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why we chose to build Sam ourselves instead, because we wanted to understand and shape the technology behind every trip we manage, not just plug something in. Sam is now the \u201cNone of that happens without a team of people doing brilliant work behind the scenes, with the goal of ensuring FCM sets the pace in this industry. This recognition tells us we\u2019re heading in the right direction, and it\u2019s a real motivator to keep going.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you to our customers for trusting us with something as important as their travel programmes, and to our people, who never stop looking for a better way to do things.\u201d<\/p>\n Adventure World<\/span><\/span>\u00a0took out of the NTIA Sustainability Award \u2013 Supplier.<\/p>\n \u201cOn behalf of all the Adventure World<\/span><\/span> team we are deeply honoured and humbled to receive this incredible recognition,\u201d managing director Neil Rodgers said. \u201cThank you to our travellers and partners for supporting us on this journey.
