We are proud to share that in the Lithuanian Tourism Awards 2023, Estravel is recognized as the best DMC and TMC in the country! This prestigious award is proof of Estravel’s highest standards in providing the highest quality customer service, creating engaging travel itineraries, and organizing memorable events.

Lithuanian Travel Awards, considered the Oscars of Tourism in the country, are organized annually by the National destination marketing organization Lithuania Travel. Besides Estravel, there were 8 more awards given to the tourism industry and influencers.

Estravel’s nomination and win in the category were based on innovative business practices and the following criteria:

• Best Destination Management Company in promoting local and incoming travel to Lithuania;
• Best Travel Management Company is introducing new ways of responsible traveling and widening the horizons by introducing new routes for Lithuanian travelers.

Žydrė Gavelienė, General Manager of Estravel in Lithuania:

 “It is a great honor to be recognized as the best. We thank all who trust us with their travel arrangements. With this honor comes even greater responsibility to maintain the highest possible standards in customer service and promoting and helping tourism in Lithuania and the whole world to thrive.“

Žydrė Gavelienė also highlighted the critical role played by the professional team of Estravel, who continued to believe in the future of tourism before the pandemic, during the pandemic, and now. After the pandemic, in 2022, Estravel established the Travel Agent Academy, which played a crucial role in helping attract new talents to the tourism industry. In 2023, 4 groups of rising tourism talents have graduated from the Estravel Travel Agent Academy.
