We are delighted to share some fantastic news: Travelbound has been awarded the prestigious title of Best School Tour Operator at the recent School Travel Awards! This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional educational travel experiences for schools across the UK.
The School Travel Awards are highly regarded within the school travel sector, celebrating excellence, innovation, and dedication to enhancing learning beyond the classroom. To be named the best in this competitive category is a significant honour, and we couldn’t be prouder of this achievement.
We’d like to take a moment to reflect on what this award means to us, share insights into our journey, and extend our heartfelt thanks to those who have supported us along the way.
A Proud Milestone in Our Journey
Winning the Best School Tour Operator award represents a pivotal moment in our journey. It’s a recognition of the hard work and passion we bring to every educational tour we design. For almost 40 years, we’ve been dedicated to crafting experiences that inspire students, deepen their understanding of the curriculum, and create lasting memories.
Whether it’s a history school trip to Berlin, a geography school trip Iceland, or a cultural immersion and language school trip to Paris, we believe that travel is a powerful tool for learning. Each tour is meticulously planned for our schools to combine educational value with engaging activities, ensuring students return not only with new knowledge but also with a broader perspective of the world.
This award affirms that our efforts have not gone unnoticed, and it motivates us to continue striving for excellence in everything we do.
Our Dedication to Educational Travel
At the heart of Travelbound is a passion for helping schools deliver experiential learning opportunities. Our goal has always been to complement classroom teaching by providing students with real-world contexts to the subjects they study.
From organising bespoke tours tailored to specific curriculum requirements to ensuring every logistical detail runs smoothly, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail. But what truly sets us apart is our focus on making every trip safe, enriching, and unforgettable.
This accolade for Best School Tour Operator highlights our ability to deliver on these promises. It’s a recognition not just of our dedication to schools and their students but also of the collaborative relationships we’ve built with educators over the years. We’re incredibly grateful to all the teachers and schools who trust us to play a role in their students’ learning journeys.
A Big Thank You to Our Supporters
We owe this award to the amazing support we’ve received from teachers, students, and of course, our fantastic Travelbound team made up of everyone from Account Managers to Tour Co-ordinators to our finance departments and operations teams. A huge thank you to everyone who voted for us and to those who have chosen us as their school travel partner. Your trust and encouragement mean the world to us.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next?
While the whole Travelbound and Experience Education family are thrilled with this recognition, we’re not resting on our laurels.
Winning the Best School Tour Operator award only strengthens our commitment to innovation and excellence.
In the coming year, we will continue to:
Expand our destinations: We’re continually exploring new locations and experiences that align with the curriculum and offer exciting opportunities for students to learn and grow.
Create NEW activities at our Travelbound-owned Château du Molay: Our team in Normandy are hard at work preparing the grounds for some new and exciting on-site activities, including archery tag and frisbee golf. Plus, our swimming pool is now heated!
Enhance sustainability efforts: We’re committed to making educational travel more sustainable, working with our sister brands as part of the Experience Education Student Travel Group, partners and schools to reduce the environmental impact of our tours.
We’re excited about the future and can’t wait to share more about these developments with you soon.
Why Awards Like This Matter
Winning awards like the Best School Tour Operator is more than just a trophy on a shelf. It’s a symbol of trust and excellence – a marker of the quality and dedication we bring to educational travel. It’s also a reminder of the important role travel plays in education.
When students step outside the classroom and into the world, they encounter new cultures, perspectives, and challenges that enrich their understanding and personal growth. Being recognised for facilitating these opportunities is incredibly rewarding.
