Kuoni Wins Daily Telegraph Ultratravel Award for Best Large Luxury Tour Operator

DORKING, England, June 9, 2011 -

Kuoni, leading travel specialist, has won the prestigious ULTRA (Ultimate
Luxury Travel Related Award) for Best Large Luxury Tour Operator at the Daily
Telegraph's Ultratravel Awards for the fifth consecutive year, as voted by
the readers of the Daily Telegraph's Ultratravel magazine.

The awards, hosted by Telegraph Travel Editor Graham Boynton, were held
on Monday 16th May at London's Savoy Hotel and were supported by a host of
'Help for Heroes' celebrities, which included venerated heroes such as the
oldest living spitfire pilot and the widow of an incredible bomb disposal
expert who saved many, many lives.

Commenting on the win, Kuoni UK MD, Joanna Edmunds said; "I thoroughly
enjoyed the Ultratravel Awards ceremony which was very moving and very
humbling. Whilst our work may not be in quite the same league I am incredibly
proud that we have been voted Number One once again by the Telegraph's
readers. It is a real testament to all of our staff's hard work, care and
attention."

Each year the Ultra's raise money for a specific charity and this year
the awards will be helping to support the 'Help for Heroes' charity with its
efforts to provide grants that aim to provide practical direct support for
wounded UK military servicemen and women. At the recent event at the Savoy in
London, guests were fortunate to meet some of these heroes and hear their
stories.
