Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) August 15, 2014 -- International luxury travel network, Virtuoso®, celebrated its top destination partners at its Destination Showcase Dinner & Award ceremony August 11, where Micato Safaris was recognized as the winner of Best VAST (Virtuoso Active and Specialty Travel) Supplier. The event, which attracted more than 1377 travel agency members, preferred suppliers and esteemed guests, was one of the many fetes at the organization’s 26th annual Virtuoso Travel Week conference, taking place this week at the Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Hosted by Virtuoso Chairman and CEO, Matthew D. Upchurch, CTC, and Albert Herrera, Virtuoso’s senior vice president of Global Product Partnership, the Destination Showcase honored partners who continue to provide exceptional experiences to Virtuoso clients while simultaneously proving themselves outstanding partner to Virtuoso’s travel agencies and advisors.

“Ours is an industry that is based on relationships, and the incredible relationship we have with our partners like Micato Safaris allow our advisors to consistently delight their clients,” says Herrera. “The Destination Showcase Awards allow us to shine the spotlight on these amazing partners and thank them for their continued support of our network.”

Micato Safaris received its nomination from an elected committee of top Virtuoso travel advisors, and excelled in the voting process that engaged the network’s nearly 9,000 travel advisors.

“Being recognized by Virtuoso as the Best VAST Supplier is a great honor because we strongly value all our professional relationships, but most especially those with our travel advisor partners,” said Dennis Pinto, Managing Director of Micato Safaris. “We look forward to continuing to work together to create safari travel experiences that far exceed clients’ expectations.”
