What a breathtaking moment! Thorne Travel’s exhilarating victory as Scotland’s Top Travel Agency in the prestigious TTG (Travel Trade Gazette) Top 50 Travel Agencies 2024 has ignited a whirlwind of excitement! The Travel Trade Gazette’s pivotal role in bestowing this prestigious honor is truly remarkable, creating an electrifying atmosphere of jubilation and recognition that reverberates across the entire industry.

Pippa Jacks, the insightful TTG editorial director, beautifully captures the pulsating energy, affirming that Thorne Travel’s victory signifies a triumphant blend of innovation, dedication, and unparalleled customer service.

The judges’ effusive acclaim reflects the tireless endeavors of Thorne Travel in enhancing the customer experience, from expanding their cruise division to unveiling a new store in Prestwick. Yet, beyond mere business triumphs, Thorne Travel’s ethos resonates with nurturing a vibrant community where every traveler feels embraced and cherished.

In the heartfelt words of Shona Thorne herself, the magnitude of this victory transcends words. Overflowing gratitude extends to the incredible customers whose unwavering support fuels their journey, as well as the exceptional team whose boundless passion and dedication make every milestone achievable.
