Local travel agency, Pukekohe Travel, won multiple awards at the annual First Travel Group conference held in Auckland this month.
The agency’s award haul included six top performance and recognition awards from travel suppliers, including Allianz Travel Insurance, Cruise World, Globus Family of Brands (including Avalon River Cruises), Journey Beyond (The Ghan and Indian Pacific Trains), The Travel Corporation (Trafalgar Coach Tours and Insight Vacations) and Viking Cruises.
Pukekohe Travel director Damian O’Connor says: “It was our most successful night ever!
Winning six of the top supplier and performance awards was a great accomplishment for the team and something I’m incredibly proud of.”
As well as winning the group awards, senior travel consultant and office manager Lisa Wharfe was also awarded the Individual Supreme Award of First Travel Group Top Cruise Consultant for the second year in a row.
Damian says having someone of Lisa’s calibre as part of the team provides their clients with a service that is second to none.
“We’re lucky enough to have three Master Cruise Consultants here at Pukekohe Travel, as well as a highly experienced team with decades of experience in international travel, including the cruise industry, which is extremely popular with our local clientele.”
The agency also celebrated a top 10 finish at the First Travel Group Managers Conference held in Brisbane in September.
Pukekohe Travel celebrated their recent wins with their clients and suppliers at their annual Travel and Cruise Expo held on Monday, October 13, at the Franklin Club. The agency hosted over 140 guests for a night of informative travel presentations, giveaways, and access to special travel offers only available on the night.
Pukekohe Travel has been a fixture on Pukekohe’s main street for 47 years. Damian, along with his business partner and fellow director Craig Boyt, leads a team of 17 specialising in escorted tours, New Zealand Rail Tours, and all aspects of leisure and family travel.
