We’re a Finalist: New Travel Agent of the Year at the TTG Travel Industry Awards 2025!

Elena Alexandra Mihailov Named Finalist for New Travel Agent of the Year at the TTG Travel Industry Awards 2025

Elena Alexandra Mihailov, Founder and Luxury Travel Expert at A&A Legacy Travel, has been named a Finalist for New Travel Agent of the Year at the TTG Travel Industry Awards 2025.

This prestigious, UK-wide recognition comes less than six months after A&A Legacy Travel officially launched, a milestone that speaks volumes about Elena’s passion, pace, and purpose.

But this story , this passion didn’t begin with an award.
It began in Corfu, Greece, back in 2014 on a summer escape that would ignite a lifelong love of travel.

It was there, while parasailing over Dassia Bay and later earning a scuba diving certification in Palaiokastritsa, that travel became more than a holiday.
It became a way of seeing the world differently, with wonder, depth, and connection.

That spark would eventually evolve into A&A Legacy Travel:
a modern luxury travel agency built on heart, storytelling, and unmatched client care.

More Than a Travel Agency , A Legacy in Motion

In under six months, A&A Legacy Travel has quietly become one of the UK and Ireland most promising names in tailor-made travel.
Its growth has been fast, but far from accidental.

Every journey is infused with personal attention, purpose, and precision.

Our specialisms include:

• Luxury honeymoons designed with romance and rhythm

• Family escapes filled with soul, safety, and connection

• Tailor-made travel to dream destinations across the globe

• Bucket-list adventures with concierge-level service

• ABTA & ATOL protection for total peace of mind

Whether it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience or a much-needed moment of rest, every itinerary is created to reflect who the traveller truly is and who they’re becoming.

Who Are TTG and Why This Recognition Matters

Founded in 1953, TTG (Travel Trade Gazette) is the UK’s oldest and most respected travel industry publication.
For over 70 years, TTG has been at the forefront of global travel journalism, setting standards, sharing insight, and celebrating the people who shape the travel industry.

The TTG Travel Industry Awards are widely regarded as the most prestigious awards in UK travel, often called “the Oscars of travel.”
They honour the individuals and companies setting new benchmarks in professionalism, innovation, and client care.

Becoming a TTG finalist is no small feat.
Each candidate must pass through several rigorous stages, from submitting detailed documentation proving the quality and authenticity of their work, to participating in a live face-to-face interview via Zoom with an experts judging panel.
This process ensures that every finalist is evaluated on genuine performance, business ethics, and personal impact within the industry.

That’s what makes this recognition so meaningful,  it’s not just about what’s been achieved, but about how it’s been achieved.

What the TTG Finalist Recognition Represents

To be recognised by TTG so early in her journey is more than a milestone for Elena.
It’s a moment of validation.

It reflects what happens when passion is paired with professionalism, when empathy and excellence come together to create something meaningful.

As Elena shares:

“Being recognised by TTG in my first year is incredibly humbling.
But more than anything, it confirms that emotionally driven, client-centred travel planning has a real place in today’s industry.”
