Auckland travellers’ growing interest in more ambitious and unexplored destinations and love of adventure travel has seen a local travel agency make a clean sweep of four awards at a prestigious awards ceremony.

The annual House of Travel Awards, hosted by local celebrities Jono & Ben and Guy Williams, were held in Wellington at the new Shed 6 conference venue with House of Travel Newmarket receiving numerous accolades.

These included; Overall Best Performing House of Travel Outlet, Top House of Travel Product Outlet North Island,  Top House of Travel Air outlet North Island and Top Performing Large-Sized Outlet of the year.

Store owner Clare Jackson says she is thrilled with the four awards won by her team and says she is excited by the recognition of her team’s massive effort this year.

“While we are beaming with pride at this success, we need to also thank our customers, because it is their repeat business and loyalty to us that has seen us succeed at this national level.

“Our success at these awards illustrates the value our customers place on the experienced, well-travelled staff we have in-store to ensure our clients’ dream holidays come to life,” says Jackson.

The CEO for House of Travel, Mark O’Donnell, says while the way Kiwis see the world is changing what has remained is the high value customers place on input from experienced well-travelled consultants to help them with their travel plans.

“It’s wonderful to see them looking to our experienced travel consultants to ensure they have only the very best travel experience available to them. The team at Newmarket’s success illustrates how important human contact and experience is to travellers, even in today’s digital age,” he says.

Other House of Travel award recipients included House of Travel Devonport who took out Best Performing Small Outlet and House of Travel Ashburton which won Best Performing Medium Outlet.
