Luxperience 2018 Awards to recognise achievements in elite travel and events

Luxperience announces entries are now open for its prestigious Luxperience Awards. These Awards recognise the industry's endeavours and the evolution of luxury travel while highlighting the shining stars and visionaries of the premium leisure and experiential travel markets.

Michelle Papas, Event Director at Luxperience, says: “This year our Awards will align with our theme for 2018: The Blue Print – A World Re-Designed. We're taking Luxperience, and the industry, to the next dimension: providing the framework, the connections and collaboration to create exclusive experiences and unique opportunities for the end consumer. The Awards will emphasis this by acknowledging the inspiring architects and creative designers re-imagining and motivating the experiential, luxury travellers' behaviours.

“The Awards component of Luxperience is now in its fourth year and winning one of the Awards is now a highly sought after accolade. We're expecting submissions from some of the world's most impressive suppliers in the global premium travel arena. With the involvement of our new Diamond Partner, Tourism Australia, we are anticipating an avalanche of entries from Australian elite suppliers. 

“These Awards recognise not only their efforts but the evolution of luxury travel and highlight the trendsetters of this uber-luxe community,” Papas adds. “Our winners set industry standards for inspiration, innovation and quality, raising the bar for others to emulate.”

Awards are open to both leisure and business event specialists emphasizing the impact and influence of luxury travel across both segments. Submissions must be received by 03 August to be included in the judging.
