People Awards: Meet the 2022 winner

Julia Lo Bue-Said, CEO The Advantage Travel Partnership, talks about becoming the winner of the prestigious Industry Contribution Award 2022

Being recognised with the 2022 Business Travel People Award for Industry Contribution was an incredibly proud moment for me personally, and a great reflection of the incredibly talented team we have at Advantage and our commitment to the business travel industry. I was totally honoured and humbled. 

When my name was called, I was overwhelmed, yet delighted obviously! I never expect to be awarded with such accolades. When Advantage is recognised in such a way, I feel hugely proud of the team, our members and our collective achievements.

I am blessed to have a very close family and many great friends across the business travel sector and wider industry and I always feel deeply humbled by their constant support and encouragement. After winning this award I was particularly touched by the kind messages from our members and their continued support and commitment to us as a business.

Winning this award was such a very proud moment for us as a team as it reflects the great work that we strive to deliver for our members. 

What would I say to anyone thinking of entering? Do it. The Business Travel Magazine People Awards are highly respected and hold a high regard across our thriving industry and winning one is a great honour which will stay with you forever!

Enter now for the 2023 Business Travel People Awards. Nominations close on March 15.
