Leading travel specialist Kuoni has won the ULTRA (Ultimate Luxury Travel Related Award) for Best Large Luxury Tour Operator at the Daily Telegraph’s Ultratravel Awards for the fifth consecutive year, as voted by the readers of the Daily Telegraph's Ultratravel magazine.
The awards, hosted by Telegraph Travel Editor Graham Boynton, were held on Monday 16 May at London’s Savoy Hotel and were supported by a host of ‘Help for Heroes’ celebrities, including the eldest living spitfire pilot to the widow of an incredible bomb disposal expert who saved many, many lives.
Commenting on Kuoni’s win, UK MD Joanna Edmunds said; “I thoroughly enjoyed the Ultratravel Awards ceremony which was very moving and very humbling. Whilst our work may not be in quite the same league I am incredibly proud that we have been voted Number One once again by the Telegraph's readers. It is a real testament to all of our staff’s hard work, care and attention”.
Each year the Ultra’s raise money for a specific charity and this year is supporting 'Help for Heroes'. At today's event at the Savoy in London, guests were fortunate to meet some of these 'Heroes' and hear their stories.
