The Windsong Travel was one of just 10 Australian travel retailers presented with a Gold Choice Award during a ceremony held this month in Adelaide.

The event was attended by leaders of the Australian travel industry and members of Travellers Choice - an exclusive collection of leading independently-owned travel agencies.

Windsong Travel owner James Cracknell put the win down to a team effort.

"Despite the worst drought ever we were still able to be up with the larger metro agencies which is especially satisfying.

"Every member of our agency is committed to using their professional expertise and personal experience to find the best travel solutions for our customers and we cannot thank our loyal customers for their incredible support of our small business," he said.

To receive a Gold Choice Award a travel company must rank among the top 10 performing travel agencies in the Australia-wide network, which was this year named Best Agency Group at the prestigious National Travel Industry Awards.

Travellers Choice managing director Christian Hunter said winning agencies demonstrated outstanding customer service, travel expertise and business acumen.

"Windsong is one of Australia's leading travel agencies because it combines exceptional travel knowledge and skills with an understanding of its local community and the unique needs of its clients."
