Every year, the editorial team at TravelAge West, headed by Editor-in-Chief Ken Shapiro, reviews hundreds of travel suppliers and products.
Review methods include product analysis, on-site visits, a travel agent survey and online research. After careful consideration, a list of “Editor’s Pick” nominees, in a variety of categories are confirmed.
March 5, 2024 (Los Angeles) — aliveXperiences has been honored with a TravelAge West 2024 Editor’s Pick Award in the category of Best DMC Europe as part of the magazine’s 2024 WAVE Awards.
Now in its 19th year, the goal of TravelAge West’s WAVE Awards is to give travel advisors in the U.S. the opportunity to recognize the outstanding qualities and services of their travel-supplier partners.
The Editor’s Picks were chosen by Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Ken Shapiro and the entire editorial team of TravelAge West. Review methods included product analysis, on-site visits and a survey of a select group of travel advisors and industry experts.
With this distinction, Editor’s Pick honorees are also in the running for a WAVE Award, to be determined by a TravelAge West readers’ choice poll conducted during the month of April. The voting is open to readers of the print and online publication and will be available at www.travelagewest.com/wave-awards.
“TravelAge West’s annual WAVE Awards celebrate the best travel companies in the industry,” said Kenneth Shapiro, Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of TravelAge West. “We give travel advisors the opportunity to acknowledge the partners who support their efforts day in and day out, providing travelers with amazing vacations and lifetime memories. With travel still booming since the end of the pandemic, these suppliers are true economic and industry superstars, and we are so happy to give them their due.”
Editor’s Pick recipients will be celebrated in person at the WAVE Awards Gala on June 13 at The Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey, in Marina del Rey, Calif., where the award winners will be announced as well. TravelAge West will include a special WAVE Awards section in the July 15 issue, highlighting award winners.
