Travel Leaders Honored With Prestigious Award

February 11, 2013

On Monday evening, Travel Leaders was honored with the prestigious

 PLATINUM APPLE VACATIONS AWARD

at a dinner located in Flemings Steakhouse at Blue Back Square, West Hartford.

Travel Leaders is one of only six  agencies in all of New England to receive this award, presented to Storrs Office Manager, Deborah DelMastro by Bruce Wilson, Senior Sales Manager of the Apple Vacations New England, Albany and Hudson Valley Region.

Mr. Wilson stated, “Apple Vacations is extremely proud and honored to announce that TRAVEL LEADERS has achieved the Apple Vacations Platinum Partnership status.  This award is made annually to those travel agencies that have shown exceptional commitment to their partnership with Apple Vacations through outstanding sales and service.  On behalf of everyone at Apple Vacations,  I want to extend our heartiest congratulations and warmest thanks to the hard-working travel professionals at TRAVEL  LEADERS.”

Travel Leaders in Storrs shares this award with their “sister agencies” in Lincoln, Rhode Island; Travel Advisors International, and their office in Putnam, Travelplanners/Travel Leaders, all owned by the Rondeau Family.

Ms. DelMastro states, “We are extremely proud to receive this honor as it is based not solely on the number of sales but also on product knowledge, completion of continued training opportunities, and commitment to customer service for our clients.”

“Travel Leaders has previously received the GOLDEN APPLE AWARD for six of the past seven years, one of only 9 agencies in Connecticut and Western Massachusetts to receive that level, but reaching the Platinum Level is an amazing achievement for a small local travel agency which just reinforces our commitment to our clients based on our travel knowledge and personalized service,” states Ms. DelMastro.
