Crystal Holidays has won two prestigious travel industry awards. Last Thursday, 7 November, the tour operator won Best Winter Sports Operator Award at this year’s Scottish Passengers Agents Association Annual Awards 2013.

‘We would like to thank everybody who voted for us’ said Susan. ‘With over 130 ski resorts in 13 countries worldwide, a great range of accommodation on offer and direct flights from Edinburgh and Glasgow airports, we are confident that we have the best winter sports product in the marketplace’.

Two weeks ago, Crystal Ski won Best Overall Ski and Wintersports Operator at the 2013 British Travel Awards. The announcement was made on 31 October at a Halloween Night Gala Awards Dinner in London attended by nearly 1,000 travel industry people.
