This year’s Destinations Show was as exciting as ever, with lots of our regular clients coming to see us at our stand, as well as plenty of new faces who were able to chat with our travel specialists face to face about their travel plans. We were certainly kept busy!

The icing on the cake was when we discovered we had been voted “Top Website 2009” by Wanderlust readers. What makes this award particularly special to us, is that it is voted for by the public.

So thank you so much if you voted for us – it’s a pleasure to know that our hard work on the website is well received. And if you didn’t vote for us, find out what all the fuss is about by visiting our “Top Travel Website 2009“!!
