In partnership with Arival, a leading voice and community for the tourism industry, we created the Arival TourReview Spotlight Awards to recognize the efforts that tour operators put into their customer experience quality, purely based on their own feedback. The first North American edition was held in Orlando in October 2023 and the first European edition in Berlin in March 2024.
Arival aims to advance the business of creating amazing in-destination experiences by providing events, insights and communities for creators and tour operators. With a series of events planned around the world each year, like the tourism fair Arival 360 Berlin 2024, where the first European Arival TourReview Spotlight Awards was held. Arival’s mission is to establish and inspire a diverse community of individuals and companies in the In-destination Industry by offering opportunities to gain insight, share knowledge and build connections.
