Tour operator Harvest Pilgrimages last night won the Tourism category at the annual City of Sydney Business Awards.
The win capped off a very busy period for the company, which recently took 4000 passengers to the World Youth Day celebrations in Madrid – not to mention organising trips to Rome for many Aussies for last year’s Mary Mackillop canonisation ceremony.
In operation for 20 years, the family-owned Harvest Pilgrimages specialises in “group faith encounters” across the globe.

Other travel industry winners and finalists at the event included the recently launched Travel Partners, as well as Quality Hotel Cambridge, which took out the Accommodation award.
Former tourism category winner Ecruising.travel this year took out the high profile ANZ Fast Starter Award, which honours fast growing businesses with turnover of more than $5 million.
Ecruising ceo Brett Dudley won a $5000 scholarship to the CEO School; see tomorrow’s Cruise Weekly for all the details.
