Each year, the School Travel Organiser Awards<\/a> celebrate the very best in educational travel across the UK. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Why Are the School Travel Organiser Awards Important?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Every year, the School Travel Organiser Awards shine a light on the people and organisations who make learning beyond the classroom possible. In a world where cost of living is rising and school trips require careful planning, robust safety systems and genuine educational value, recognition for those going above and beyond matters.<\/p>\n

Awards like these are not just about the trophies or prizes, they celebrate the teachers who lead expeditions, the travel teams who work behind the scenes, and the organisations committed to delivering meaningful, responsible experiences for young people.<\/p>\n

Educational travel is more than just the opportunity to explore a new place, it\u2019s a powerful tool for growth, resilience and global understanding.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

The Role of Educational Travel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With the rising expectations around safety and safeguarding standards, school trips become just as much about the processes that let them exist as the experience itself. School travel providers must ensure that all school trips are held to tough and deliver experiential learning opportunities in a safe and sustainable environment.<\/p>\n

With increasing expectations around sustainability and measurable impact, it has never been more important to recognise school travel providers who prioritise responsibility, long-term partnerships and real educational outcomes.<\/p>\n

The School Travel Organiser Awards give schools the opportunity to champion the providers who genuinely make a difference.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Why Camps International Is Proud to Be Considered<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We are extremely proud and excited that Camps International can be nominated the Best School Tour Operator (Large) category this year.<\/p>\n

Since 2002, we have worked alongside schools and communities to create expeditions rooted in purpose, combining curriculum-linked experiences, service-led projects and sustainable impact.<\/p>\n

On all of our responsible school travel expeditions, we partner with local communities<\/a> and work on projects that are led by their needs at the time. This long-term partnership enables us to work towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals while creating employment opportunities for the teams on the ground, building long lasting, mutually meaningful relationships throughout the whole Camps team.<\/p>\n

However, we cannot enter these School Travel Organiser 2026 categories without nominations from the schools and teachers we work with.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

What Makes a \u201cBest School Tour Operator\u201d?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The best school travel experiences challenge students to step outside their comfort zones while feeling supported and safe. It builds resilience, leadership and cultural understanding far more than can be built inside any classroom, and it helps students feel more confident, more self-aware and more curious about the world around them.<\/p>\n

But behind every impactful school trip is a travel operator that prioritises responsibility over shortcuts.<\/p>\n
