Kuoni has been named World’s Leading Destination Management Company during the World Travel Awards in Doha on January 11.
In May 2011, Kuoni acquired Gulliver Travel Associates (GTA) and six months later merged this with its Destination Management arm to form a new Global Travel Services division for both its MICE and FIT business. Its DMC specialists are now part of the new Emerging Markets & Specialists division, headed by Stefan Leser.
“We are very happy to receive the recognition from the travel industry for the second year in a row,” said Rolf Schafroth, CEO of Kuoni global travel services. “2011 has been a momentous year for Kuoni Destination Management, bringing GTA into the company has given us a richer global community and we have filled the organisation with even more talented and expert travel professionals.”
In other improvements this year, Kuoni relaunched its website to provide interactive maps, brochures, product ideas and case studies.
