Newsflash! We won the Silver Award for the “Best Educational Product” at the 2016 British Youth Travel Awards! Read the article below to find out about our nomination and see who we were up against!
The Dragon Trip has been nominated for one of the UK’s most prestigious travel accolades; the British Youth Travel Award. The category that we will be competing in is Best Educational Product.
We stand alongside some of the most renowned youth adventure travel companies including STA Travel and Student Universe. Our learning adventures have developed, over the last few years, into the educationally enriching, globally appealing experiences that they are today. In 2016, we have taken over 1,100 young people on school trips from 4 different continents to a range of destinations across China.
The awards ceremony takes places in Central London on December 5th where The Dragon Trip will line up proudly alongside the other luminaries in the industry. We’re practicing our victory speech and gracious loser face, in the meantime.
Victory, or no victory; the nomination represents a huge amount of blood, sweat and tears that the ET team have put in over the past few years to develop the product. A vast number of people have worked together in creating some amazing experiences for students.
Perhaps the last word should come from the most important people in the whole process; the students themselves. This week we received a message from an old Dragon learning adventurer who is all set to study Mandarin at university after being inspired by her China school trip in 2013. “Definitely the most memorable 10 days of my life, and it was because of the trip I knew Mandarin is what I wanted to study further!” The award would be amazing but it’s comments like this that really inspire our ET Team.
