Link Travel Group honoured its award winners at Link Live last week during the Celebration Dinner held at Customs House in Brisbane’s CBD.
It was the first instance where Link has presented awards to members which were broken up into four categories, with two awards up for grabs in each. Complex Travel Group was recognised with a trio of awards, while Travel Beyond Group bagged two, and Platinum Travel Group, Atour Travel Service and Goldman Group each collected one award.
The award categories and the winners were:
- Wings of Excellence Awards:
- Highest Revenue Producer FY25 – Air: Complex Travel Group
- Highest Revenue Growth VLY FY25 – Air: Platinum Travel Group
- Lodging Legends Awards:
- Highest Revenue Producer FY25 – GDS Hotels: Travel Beyond Group
- Highest Revenue Growth VLY FY25 – GDS Hotels: Travel Beyond Group
- Master of the Waves Awards:
- Highest Revenue Producer FY25 – Cruise: Atour Travel Service
- Highest Revenue Growth VLY FY25 – Cruise: Complex Travel Group
- Triple Crown Awards:
- Highest Revenue Producer FY25 – Car, Tour & Insurance: Goldman Group
- Highest Revenue Growth VLY FY25 – Car, Tour & Insurance: Complex Travel Group
In addition, Link also took the unprecedented step of awarding Members Choice Awards to supplier partners which were purely voted on by Link Members. Three Members Choice Awards were up for grabs in the following categories, and the winner were:
- Link Members Choice Award – Airline of FY25: Qantas Airways
- Link Members Choice Award – Cruise Provider of FY25: Viking
- Link Members Choice Award – Car, Tour & Insurance Provider of FY25: nib Travel Insurance
“While we always wanted to present awards, we wanted to make sure we did it right and with meaning, ” said Scott Darlow, General Manager of Link Travel Group.
“You will not find any glorified participation awards given out from Link such as most engaged member, nor are there any awards for completing the most online courses or attending most events. Link awards are purely performance driven and aspirational for all our members.”
“Each of the FY25 winners has deserved their award and you could see how proud they were to be recognised & rewarded in front of their peers on the night.
“The Members Choice Awards are purely that, voted for by our members and not Link. Our members did not vote based on their favourite business class product, or for who has the newest ships etc, they voted based purely on the holistic commercial relationship between the preferred partner, Link and their own offices. I extend my congratulations to all the winners and thank them all for their enormous contribution to Link,” Darlow concluded.
