The British Travel Awards are widely referred to as the "Oscars" of the travel industry. In November 2012, we were named 'Best Overall Escorted Experience Tour Operator' and 'Best Medium Tour Operator to Southern Asia’. The votes are cast by those whose opinions matter the most – the consumer.
In November 2012 we received a Virgin Holidays Responsible Tourism Award for being the ‘Best Tour Operator for Promoting Responsible Tourism’. The prestigious gong was presented to us in recognition of our on-going dedication to responsible tourism. Judges were particularly impressed by the thoroughness of our approach to placing responsible principles at the core of our business.

Explore was awarded the ‘Travel Editors’ Green Award of the Year’ in November 2012. Judges were impressed with our holistic approach to responsible tourism and specifically our involvement in the Sustainable Tourism MSc at the University of Surrey.
At the beginning of 2012, Explore teamed up with the University of Surrey to create a Sustainable Tourism MSc “in Association with Explore” - educating students on the importance, theory and practice of sustainable tourism initiatives. Explore received an AITO Award (Association of Independent Tour Operators) for having the 'Most Innovative Sustainable Tourism Initiative' in recognition of this, in November 2012.
