Vio Travel takes home DMC of the Year and ESG Initiative of the Year at the Travel Daily Media Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2026 – Thailand.
Bangkok, Thailand, 14th October 2026 – Vio Travel is proud to announce two wins at the Travel Daily Media Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2026 – Thailand, receiving Destination Management Company (DMC) of the Year and ESG Initiative of the Year.
The awards mark an important milestone for Vio Travel, recognising its commitment to making destination management more efficient for travel agents while advancing responsible tourism across Asia Pacific.
Bringing technology and local expertise together
As Asia Pacific’s first online DMC, Vio Travel is changing how travel agents plan and book holidays across more than 15 destinations.
Its B2B booking platform connects agents to thousands of directly contracted suppliers, tours, activities and transport options, simplifying itinerary planning while offering competitive rates, local destination expertise and responsive customer support.
“We built Vio Travel to rethink how destination management works, making it faster, simpler and more efficient for travel agents without losing the local expertise and personal service that make a great DMC,” said Michael Lynden-Bell, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Vio Travel.
Making responsible tourism part of everyday business
The ESG Initiative of the Year award recognises Vio Travel’s efforts to embed sustainability into its operations and supplier partnerships.
In May 2026, Vio Travel became the first DMC in Asia certified under the Preferred by Nature Standard for Sustainable Travel Activities V1.1, following an independent assessment of its Indonesia operations.
This DMC in Asia and the Pacific continues to strengthen responsible sourcing, supplier engagement and sustainability practices, with plans to progressively extend its framework across other destinations.
“For us, sustainability is about more than policies and certifications. It’s about taking responsibility for how we operate, who we work with and the impact tourism has on local communities,” said Dominik Schaufler, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Vio Travel.
Together, these two awards reinforce Vio Travel’s vision of combining technology, personal service and responsible tourism to deliver better experiences for travel agents and their clients.
