Tour operators and vacation packagers work hard to streamline the travel experience for their guests around the world, and winners in these categories make delivering a thoughtful, seamless and out-of-this-world itinerary look easy.

There were some obvious leaders of the pack at the 2018 Travvy Awards, Wednesday, January 24, 2018, at Gotham Hall in New York City.

The Travel Corporation clearly knows how to execute successful tours. The company led the night, raking in 13 Travvys in the Best Tour Operator and Best Travel Packager categories. Their wins were spread among four brands: African Travel, Inc., Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations and Trafalgar.

ShoreTrips was the big winner in the Best Shore Excursions category and Best Reservations Team went to Trafalgar.
