The Travvy Awards celebrated their 12th year with another lively celebration from South Florida.
An iconic event that's come to be known as the Oscars of the travel industry recognizes the top industry suppliers, including destinations, hotels, cruise lines, airlines, tour operators, and more, based on the knowledge and experiences of those who know them best: travel advisors.
With the votes cast, the annual awards culminated with a gala in Fort Lauderdale on November 5, with many industry-leading brands taking home the coveted gold and silver hardware.
