Australian travel company Helloworld Travel Limited has been recognised for its contribution to getting Aussies to the United States. The recipients of the Chairman’s Circle Honours awards were in San Antonio to accept the honour.
While the Chairman’s Circle Honors awards may not quite rival the Oscars or the Grammys, they are a testament to the exceptional achievements and unwavering commitment of those who make travel happen. Especially after these last few years.
These are the companies and the people who have captivated travellers and enticed them to embark on unforgettable journeys throughout the United States. And each year, the U.S. Travel Association and Brand USA come together to name and fame them.
Helloworld was among 60 international tour operators honoured in an exclusive event at this year’s IPW in San Antonio.
Geoff Freeman, the president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, praised the honourees for their “critical” role in boosting the U.S. travel demand. Freeman also expressed his gratitude to the honorees, including Helloworld.
“We appreciate the outstanding efforts of this year’s class of honorees for creating benefits that span practicall every sector of the U.S. travel industry.”
Chris Thompson, the president and CEO of Brand USA, also joined the celebration. He applauded the recipients for their unwavering commitment to showcasing the best of the USA to the world.
This is the tenth annual Chairman’s Circle Honours awards. There were 12 new organisations that received this prestigious honour for the first time. 17 organisations have consistently excelled since the awards started.
The United States has an ambitious goal to welcome 90 million visitors and USD$280 billion annual spend by 2027.
