Maltese-owned Mercury Holidays has scooped six awards at the prestigious British Travel Awards, further enhancing its reputation as one of the leading independent tour operators.
Mercury received four highly-prized gold medallions in the medium-sized holiday company categories for Malta and the Italian Peninsula; East and Central Asia; Western Europe; and Central and South America; as well as a silver medal for Southern Asia. The company was also chosen by travellers as best overall all-inclusive tour operator – one of the most coveted prizes at the UK’s largest consumer voted awards which attracts over 1.2 million votes across 75 categories.
“We are thrilled. These awards reflect our dedication to providing our valued customers with impeccable travel experiences. We thank our loyal clients and look forward to upholding our commitment to excellence in quality, service and affordability,” said Mercury managing director Geraldine Stimson.
