We're excited to announce that Olive Tree Escapes is a TravelAge West 2023 Editor's Pick for Best DMC, Europe (Best Destination Management Company for European travel)!

The Editor’s Picks were chosen by Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Ken Shapiro and the entire editorial team of TravelAge West. Review methods included product analysis, on-site visits and a survey of a select group of travel advisors and industry experts.

“With travel once again booming, there are a lot of suppliers who deserve recognition for treating their customers and their partners the right way,” Shapiro said. “The WAVE Awards give travel advisors the opportunity to acknowledge the best of the best, and reward companies that stood by them during tough times.”

With this distinction, Editor’s Pick honorees are also in the running for a WAVE Award, to be determined by a TravelAge West readers’ choice poll conducted during the month of April.

Thank you to TravelAge West for the recognition, but most importantly to the Olive Tree Escapes Team. Without their dedication and tireless efforts we wouldn't have made it this far. What a great way to celebrate our 6th anniversary next week!

Grazie a tutti & Hvala svima!

Croatia's adoption of the euro and entry to Schengen is expected to boost tourism for the 2023 season and beyond.
