A Jersey travel company has been shortlisted as one of the top five high street agencies in the southwest region.
As well as the listing in the Travel Trade Gazette (TTG) Top 50 Travel Agencies 2019 awards, CI Co-op's Travelmaker also made the shortlist and top five for the Top Touring and Adventure agency in the UK, a category introduced by TTG last year.
The fourth annual TTG’s Top 50 Travel Agencies awards are dedicated to recognising excellence in retailing. The awards comprise of 20 categories, highlighting standout stores in 12 different regions, plus six nation-wide categories for different kinds of agency business and UK and Ireland’s No.1 Travel Agency 2019.
The shortlist was drafted by a panel of 60 travel suppliers, including airlines, tour operators, cruise lines and car hire providers, who rated hopeful agencies on sales volume and growth, as well as according to their business performance, customer service and innovation. In the next stage of judging, a TTG journalist will visit each shortlisted agency to carry out an assessment.

Carl Winn, the Co-op Chief Marketing Officer, commented: "After another successful year, it’s fantastic that Travelmaker has been shortlisted in these prestigious awards once again. Our Travelmaker Guernsey colleagues have also been named as a top five agency within our region. It is a huge achievement for our Travelmaker branches to feature twice in the top five shortlist. We hope to report good news in 2019 that we have retained our ‘Best in the Southwest’ accolade.
"We’re also very excited that Travelmaker has been shortlisted and made the top five for the Top Touring and Adventure agency award. It’s a credit to the hard work and dedication of my colleagues in each island who strive year on year to deliver the best service possible to our clients."
