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.

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.
