We're delighted to announce MSG has been awarded the Shining Star Award

It was a stratospheric victory for MSG, taking home the Shining Star Award for innovative use of technology at last month's Vamoos Awards.

Held in London, the prestigious ceremony is a nationwide celebration of the innovative ways technologies are being used across the industry to service customers and deliver exceptional customer experiences. It was a spectacular night, attended by our very own Katie Peggs and fellow Tour Operator Laura Dennehy.

What an amazing night for us at the Vamoos Awards in London this evening! Winning the Shining Star award is definitely a great achievement for us! #Vamoos #VamoosAwards #TravelIndustry #ShiningStar 🏆🎖 — MSG Tours on Twitter

"First and foremost, we'd like to congratulate everybody who attended on the night," says Katie. "It's a tremendous honour to be recognised for our achievements, especially amongst our peers and inspirational figures in the tourism and travel industry.

"Everybody here at MSG routinely goes above and beyond because we want the schools, sports teams, and teachers we work with to have the most amazing experiences. Pushing new technologies and fine-tuning ways to enhance those experiences — delivering a reliable, quality service that does not compromise personalisation — is a massive part of that. Winning this award is evidence that we are achieving those goals."

Success and the future

2017 was a significant year for MSG Tours. Upon successfully establishing a new European base of operations in the Basque Country, we've grown our talented and dynamic team across all areas to become one of the country's leading specialists in educational, ski and sports travel.

Winning this award doesn't only cap-off a fantastic year, crowning our accomplishments as a successful business and travel brand, it's an inspirational kickstart to what looks set be an even more exciting 2018 for MSG and our customers.
