On the 30th of September, our co-founder Tom Marchant was honoured with the Diamond of Excellence award at the International Luxury Awards in Madrid, recognizing his and Black Tomato’s contribution to luxury travel.
It was a memorable night; and it’s a moment that we’re all rightfully humbled by.
Organized by the Spanish Luxury Association, the Diamond award – which was conferred at the historic Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, in the heart of the city – is a prestigious distinction to pick up, and it’s one that means a great deal to everyone here at Black Tomato.
“I’m truly honoured to receive this award”, Tom remarked, “knowing that it encapsulates everything we’ve been building over the past 20 years; helping travelers to discover and feel the wonder of the world. It also recognizes how we’ve been working with our partners and local communities, building a positive, regenerative vision of travel together.
