BANGKOK, 22 JUNE 2023: Khiri Travel has won “Best Sustainable Tourism Company – Thailand” and “Best Destination Management Company – Thailand” at the 2023 International Travel Awards held in Dubai 17 June.
Award organisers, UAE-based Golden Tree, said: “Khiri Travel has shown itself as a brilliant representative of excellent services in the global tourism industry.”
Over a hundred thousand international travellers and tourism industry professionals vote to select the winners across all categories each year.
Acknowledging the two awards, Khiri Travel CEO and founder Willem Niemeijer said: “Two international travel awards in one evening is a testament to over three decades of innovation and commitment to responsible tourism.”
He added: “While Thailand is Khiri’s biggest destination, we apply the same commitment to discovery and high-quality, sustainable travel in all the eight Asian destinations where we operate.”
In May, Khiri Travel celebrated its 30th anniversary, growing from a start-up in a Bangkok shophouse in 1993 to one of Asia’s leading destination management companies three decades later.
