A Hampshire travel agency has been named as the best in the South East of England.
Meon Valley Travel was named the South East’s Top Agency as part of the TTG Top 50 Travel Agencies 2022: an annual power-list of the nation’s best agents by industry bible, Travel Trade Gazette.
TTG group editor Pippa Jacks said: “Now in its seventh year, our TTG Top 50 Travel Agencies initiative sees us tour the length and breadth of the UK and Ireland to find those travel agents who have worked smartest, provided the best customer service, and done most to contribute to a fairer travel industry, in the last 12 months.”
“Travel agents have come through the most challenging two years in the industry’s history, but by offering expert advice and support to customers throughout the pandemic, our Top 50 winners have all won new clients and are looking ahead to a bright future.”
About Meon Valley Travel’s win, judges said: “The team at Meon Valley Travel has taken every opportunity to expand and improve the business over the last year, gaining a considerable new customer base via social media, and using technology cleverly. The leadership team has created a brilliant team culture, where staff feel valued and rewarded and where giving back to good causes is second nature. A very worthy winner indeed.”
“For the second year running we are immensely proud and humbled to receive this incredible recognition, particularly through such challenging times for so many. Thank you TTG for hosting such a wonderful event and for the immeasurable support of our suppliers, clients, colleagues and friends. It’s an honour to serve and we treasure the opportunity to do what we love; making dreams come true and sharing the world with our friends.” Karen and James.
The TTG Top 50 ceremony took place at The Vox in Birmingham on Thursday 24 March, with almost 450 of the UK and Ireland’s top travel agents and supplier-partners in attendance, with entertainment from Brit Award-winning singer Will Young.

Notes:
Travel Trade Gazette is the UK & Ireland’s leading travel industry magazine, publishing since 1953. TTG’s annual Top 50 Travel Agencies list is formed of: the best three high street stores from each of 12 regions, and the best two nationwide agencies in each of eight nationwide categories. The shortlisting stage was undertaken in November 2021 by a panel of 50 travel suppliers including airlines, tour operators and car hire providers, who rated hopeful agencies according to their business performance, customer service and expertise. To decide which shortlisted agencies made it into the Top 50 list, a TTG journalist visited or interviewed each shortlisted agency in February 2022 to carry out an assessment.
