Being named a Travel + Leisure World’s Best Tour Operator is an honor—but more importantly, it’s a reflection of the people, care, and experiences that define every Trek Travel trip.
Each year, Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards are shaped by thousands of readers who vote based on real travel experiences. These aren’t industry insiders or marketing panels—they’re travelers who’ve been there, done it, and felt the difference. That’s what makes this recognition especially meaningful to us.
What the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Award Represents
Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards are among the most respected accolades in global travel. Winners are selected based on reader feedback across categories that matter most to travelers: service, expertise, personalization, and overall experience.
For tour operators, this award recognizes companies that consistently deliver thoughtful, memorable journeys—where logistics fade into the background and the experience takes center stage. To be named a World’s Best Tour Operator means travelers trust you with their time, their expectations, and their sense of adventure. That trust is something we take seriously.
