TNT Magazinie - UK Golden Backpacks Awards - 2011

In October 2011, the Expat Explore team attended the UK Golden Backpacks Awards night, having been nominated for two categories.
Best European Tour Operator
Best Small Tour Operator – of which we also became a finalist!
Unfortunately, we didn’t scoop the main award, however we were up against some pretty strong competition. Being nominated by the industry, and then supported by ‘the people’s vote’ was very flattering and encouraging for us.
We would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to all of those who voted for Expat Explore, and we look forward to making 2012 bigger and better than ever!
PS – Congratulations to all of the winners.

Top Partner, Elite Club 2011

Also in October, Expat Explore received an award for being the best supplier in 2011 to work with, nominated & awarded to by Elle Vacanze Holiday Group. The award ceremony was held in Florence, Italy, and our General Manager received this award on behalf of all the very proud Expat Staff, and the ceremony was definetely a night to remember. Expat goes to great lengths to select great suppliers, so we were ‘over the moon’ to receive an award which appreciated us in return.
Thanks to the organisers, staff and dedicated teams we work with at Elle Vacanze, we look forward to maintaining a strong relationship with you in the future.
