A BELMONT travel agency has been recognised among the leading agencies in Australia after a standout year helping travellers book luxury cruise experiences.

Geelong Travel, led by director Stuart Coffield, received multiple honours last month in the Scenic Group’s annual travel industry awards, including being named the number one travel agency for luxury cruises and tours across Australia and New Zealand.

The accolade recognises Geelong Travel’s success in helping clients plan luxury river and ocean cruise experiences around the world and places the business at the top of Scenic’s travel agency network.

It continues a strong run for the local agency, which also took out the title last year.

Geelong Travel was also named Victoria’s best Scenic Group agency – a reflection of the business’s performance across Scenic’s broader cruise portfolio – and placed second across Australia and New Zealand for its sales performance in the premium cruising market.

The success extended to Geelong Travel’s consulting team, with senior travel advisor Leanne Heath placing third nationally for her impressive sales performance.

Coffield said the awards were a reflection of the experience and knowledge within the Geelong Travel team.

“To our amazing team – your passion and commitment shine through in everything you do,” he said.

“And to our loyal clients – thank you for trusting our family business with your adventures.

“These awards belong to all of you.”

Geelong Travel is also a member of the Scenic Group’s director’s club, an invitation-only program that recognises the company’s highest-performing travel partners.
