Topdeck Travel has dominated the TNT UK Golden Backpack Awards taking home three trophies including the major title of Favourite Big Tour Operator.

The specialist travel provider for 18 to 30-somethings beat stiff competition for the top gong, and also took home the Favourite Ski / Winter Operator and Favourite Tour Operator in West Europe.

The winners were announced at a gala evening last Friday night in London. The awards were voted on by readers of backpackers’ bible TNT Magazine.

“We’re honored to receive these awards because they come from the people who matter most - the people who travel with us,’’ Topdeck Asia Pacific and South Africa sales manager Ben Ittensohn said.

“Topdeck just keeps getting bigger and better. Over the past year we’ve put an exceptional amount of work into growing our business, from venturing into new territory in North America and South Africa to enhancing our trips with more inclusions and exclusive experiences than our competitors.

“It’s been a massive year for Topdeck and these awards inspire us to continue to deliver incredible experiences for young travellers.”

Topdeck was named as a finalist in a total of 10 out of 32 categories.

The first UK Golden Backpack Awards were held last year. Topdeck took out the Favourite Middle East Operator and Favourite Festivals Operator at those awards.

Topdeck is a leading operator of holidays for 18 to 30 something year old travellers through Europe, North America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East. The company is 100% Australian owned.
