Aberdeen International Airport’s Therapet project has been awarded the National Geographic Traveller’s Award for innovation.
Presented with the award at a ceremony in London last night, Aberdeen Airport joined globally recognised organisations and experiences including; Eurostar, Emirates, and the Tianmen Skywalk in China.
The airport’s Therapets project, a partnership with Canine Concern Scotland Trust, is designed to reduce anxiety associated with travelling through interaction with therapy dogs and has now been internationally acknowledged as industry leading.
The National Geographic Traveller Readers Awards 2019 are voted for by its readers. Now in its fifth year, the 2019 awards represent the last word on the best places, experiences, hotels and personalities that make our travels meaningful and memorable.
Steve Szalay, managing director at Aberdeen International Airport, said: ‘Being awarded for innovation from the readers of National Geographic Traveller is a huge honour.
‘Some of the people and organisations being awarded at the ceremony last night are household names and iconic locations. Being mentioned in the same breath as some of them is a privilege itself.
‘Our Therapets dogs are already much-loved by our regular passengers, but it’s great to see the work they – and of course their human colleagues – do recognised by such a prestigious globally-read travel magazine.”
