Behind every five-star itinerary and champagne-soaked cruise are the industry’s top travel minds orchestrating unforgettable experiences. At Scenic Group’s 9th annual Night of Stars, those high flyers took the spotlight. Held at Sydney’s W Hotel, this prestigious soirée gathered over 300 industry leaders to toast the travel agencies and advisors redefining excellence.
Scenic Group’s Night of Stars showcased the highest achievers in luxury travel sales. A jaw-dropping 46 travel agencies earned Diamond Awards, an elite recognition for those generating between $1 million and $10 million in gross revenue in a single year. The numbers speak for themselves: 12 winners in 2020 have grown to 46 in 2025, setting a new benchmark.
Scenic Group’s Founder & Chairman, Glen Moroney, sent his congratulations via video, recognising the agencies that continue to push the boundaries of luxury travel sales. The energy only intensified with a show-stopping performance from The Voice Australia 2023 winner Karen Stokes—because what’s an awards night without a bit of star power?
