The biggest names in luxury travel came together last night to celebrate the industry’s top agents.
In its 12th year, Best of the Best is an event series that brings together the Best of the Best in hotels, cruise, and travel advisor partners.
The evening saw 65 luxury travel agents attend a private dinner at the ACE Hotel in Sydney with partners Anthony Knox & Associates, COMO Hotels & Resorts, Inspired Luxury, Seabourn Cruises, Taj Hotels, The Legian Seminyak BALI, and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises.
This is the second iteration following an event in Melbourne last month.
Travel agent guests were treated to updates from all seven of the partners over a 3-course meal, followed by generous prizes giving agents the chance to experience firsthand some of the incredible products presented to them.
