Glenn Stutchbury, MD of the Africa Albida Tourism (AAT) group, said that the award was recognition "of the exceptional voluntary effort Wendy makes outside her job on behalf of colleagues in the industry - she is a true tourism ambassador and we at AAT are very proud of her achievements."
A bustling, enthusiastic character, Bourne has made a significant mark over the past 24 years as a sales and marketing force and her enthusiasm has been unflagging. She is well known for spearheading educational visits to Victoria Falls by international and local agents where she exudes great passion and an in-depth knowledge of Zimbabwe's premier destination.
This tribute complemented the AZTA award to AAT flagship, Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, as the best safari lodge in Zimbabwe for a remarkable 16th year in succession.
