TravelAge West is now accepting applications for its annual Trendsetter Awards. Travel advisors can enter four categories, including Best Use of Social Media; Upward Bound, Rockstar Advisor Under 40; Best Targeted Marketing Idea; and Best Group Booking Effort.
Two finalists in each category will be flown to and hosted in Los Angeles at The Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey, for the WAVE Awards gala on June 8, where Trendsetter winners will be announced. Nominees and winners receive travel prizes, including cruises, tours and hotel stays.
Best yet, we often see our former winners and nominees really expand their businesses after being recognized as a trendsetting travel advisor.
Finalists will be featured on the cover of TravelAge West, with accompanying stories inside the magazine.
Entries are reviewed by the staff of TravelAge West, as well as each category’s sponsor. This year’s sponsors include World of Hyatt Inclusive Collection, Globus Family of Brands, Princess Cruises and Sandals Resorts.
"The Trendsetter Awards is one of the best things we do at TravelAge West, because we get to honor travel advisors who have achieved success in their business or for the greater advisor community,” said Ken Shapiro, Vice President, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of TravelAge West. “Best yet, we often see our former winners and nominees really expand their businesses after being recognized as a trendsetting travel advisor.”
