“It is an honour for the team of InspireME Monte Carlo, not just for myself, to be featured in Conde Nast Travel for Travel Specialists 2020 and to be acknowledged as leaders in providing travel experiences that inspire, challenge and transform by providing that ‘Pull off the impossible and spare you the logistics’ service’,” said Egberts. “All of the 222 organizations listed are the best of best! Thus, InspireME Monte Carlo is humbled by the award.”

In honouring Egberts, who has earned her CITP, CMM, DMCP and CMP designations and is an acknowledged leader in the MICE and hospitality industries, Conde Nast Travel wrote:

A mindful, purpose-driven female entrepreneur, she has planned more than 1,000 unique incentive programs, deluxe leisure travel trips, weddings, product launches, conferences and more.
