Press Release

RACT Travelworld has won a prestigious award at the 2010 National Travel Industry Awards held last weekend in Sydney.

RACT Travelworld received the Award from the Australian Federation of Travel Agents in front of 950 travel industry representatives at Sydney's Westin Hotel. 

RACT Travelworld had been nominated for Best Innovation Marketing - Retail Agency which was ultimately judged the winning entry in the category, beating other entries from all over Australia.

"The Award recognises two very successful events conducted for our clients during 2009," said Harvey Lennon, Chief Operating Officer of RACT Travelworld.  "One of the events was a Breakfast with the Queen, where clients were invited to join us for breakfast on the MV Cartela to welcome the Cunard cruise liner, Queen Victoria, on its inaugural visit to Hobart.

"The other event comprised a series of functions around the State under the name An Evening in Europe where European travel suppliers provided advice to RACT Travelworld clients to assist with their holiday planning whether they were interested in independent travel or group travel.

RACT Travelworld had another win at the weekend awards when Jetset Travelworld Group was named Best Travel Agency Group (100 Outlets or more). RACT Travelworld is part of the Jetset Travelworld franchise network.

RACT Travelworld is Tasmania's largest locally owned travel operation. It is one of the core businesses of the RACT. 

"We are currently gearing up for a series of statewide functions later this month, where together with APT, we shall be hosting information sessions on European and Russian river cruising, along with Canada and Alaska presentations". The presentations will be held in Hobart, Launceston and along the North West Coast.
