WILMINGTON, N.C. (Jan 11, 2013) – Gordon Dalgleish, co-founder and president of PerryGolf, has been named one of Condé Nast Traveler’s top travel specialists for 2012. This is his seventh consecutive award since 2006. He is the only specialist awarded for golf travel.
For the past 13 years Condé Nast Traveler Consumer News Director Wendy Perrin has been handpicking this list of travel designers worldwide who represent the best combination of expertise, access, and value. The 2012 list includes 150 professionals; all have been road-tested by Condé Nast Traveler readers. None have paid to be included.
Dalgleish is among the magazine’s list of “über-agents” who offer clients “unrivaled access and special connections,” according to Perrin. “I’m honored to be included among this group of travel professionals,” said Dalgleish, whose firm specializes in golf tours and cruises to the British Isles, the Mediterranean, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. “I’m especially pleased the award recognizes efforts to continue to bring innovation and superior levels of customer service to our industry since we consider those qualities to be the hallmarks of our business.”
Gordon and his brother Colin founded PerryGolf in 1984 as a luxury golf and lifestyle tour operator based in Atlanta with operational headquarters near Glasgow, Scotland. PerryGolf was one of the first end-to-end service providers capable of arranging every aspect of a custom itinerary from golf and accommodation to international airfare and local transportation. One of the company’s most recognizable innovations was the introduction of luxury motor coaches completely re-configured for groups of eight golfers to enjoy the British Isles with the dedicated services of a concierge driver.
Dalgleish is a rating panelist for GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Courses in the World, plus a former director and board member of the American Junior Golf Association in Atlanta.
