1 Night. 4 Awards. 75 delighted staff.
Tour Hosts has been recognised by the peak industry body for business events - MEA (Meetings and Events Australia) with four awards for excellence.
In a year when MEA received a record number of award nominations, Tour Hosts were overwhelmed to sweep the board at the Awards Ceremony held in Adelaide last Tuesday night. And the awards were:
Meetings Manager of the Year and Hall of Fame
Awarded for the best Meetings Management Company. Following 3 successive wins Tour Hosts has now been inducted into the prestigious Hall of Fame.
Meeting of the Year - Over 500 delegates - 54th Asian Patent Attorneys Association Council Meeting (APAA) held at the Adelaide Convention Centre
A hotly contested category for the best meeting of the year assessed on outcomes achieved, significance of the event, smooth organisation, partnerships and solutions to the challenges. A special thank you goes to Mr Craig Vinall and Mr Greg Bartlett and their partners for taking their time to attend the Ceremony and helping us to accept the award.
Incentive of the Year - CEPSA
Awarded to our DMC (Destination Management) department. CEPSA was for a Spanish Company to undertake an action packed program to Sydney, Uluru and Port Douglas - all put together in just 6 weeks prior to departure!
The Platinum Award
An absolute honour is the prestigious award for best of the best - the highest ranking award submission overall, won by Incentive of the Year - CEPSA.
Roslyn McLeod, Managing Director said:
"Winning one MEA award is a very well regarded tribute. To win four awards and enter the Hall of Fame is the greatest honour. Cornerstone to this feat is the valued relationships we have with each and every member of our organising committees, our international and national partnerships and affiliations, our superb suppliers and the magnificent team at Tour Hosts. We were particularly delighted that four members of the Local Organising Committee from the APAA Meeting shared the moment and experienced first hand the industry that creates successful meetings and events held in Australia.".
