Commenting on the latest win for Oasis Portfolio of Luxury Travel, Manager, Julie-Anne Vaughan adds: “Oasis Travel has eight branches across Northern Ireland, and we’ve been developing a highly-specialised team within the business, who curate luxury travel itineraries for clients from across the region – our Portfolio team.
“We know that our levels of service and first-hand expertise from our extensive travels across the world sets our travel consultants apart, but to be acknowledged not just once, but three times, and on a national level in one year is simply incredible.
“Being pitted against the best from across the UK, and winning some of the top awards is testament to the team’s extensive efforts to always go above and beyond, surpassing our clients’ expectations.”
With its headquarters in Lisburn, Oasis Travel was founded over 40 years ago by Sandra Corkin. Still a family-owned and run travel business, Scott McCabe, Managing Director of Oasis Travel adds: “Just a few years ago, we attended the awards as a finalist and were in admiration of our fellow nominees and the calibre of travel experiences that they were providing.
“Under Julie-Anne’s stewardship, our Oasis Portfolio of Luxury Travel is now recognised as one of the leading lights in curating unforgettable luxury travel experiences. This is a huge credit to the team, and something that we’re incredibly proud of across the business.”
