Tomoko Ikeda, Director of XPERISUS, Nominated for Serandipians Idolons 2026

XPERISUS is pleased to announce that Tomoko Ikeda, Director of the company, has been nominated for the second consecutive year in the “Best City Experience Designer DMC” category at the Serandipians Idolons 2026, one of the most prestigious award programs in the global luxury travel industry. 

The Serandipians Idolons are a highly regarded, industry-wide awards program, with recipients selected through peer nominations and voting by luxury travel professionals around the world. Notably, the awards recognize individual excellence rather than companies or properties. This nomination is a reflection of Ikeda’s distinctive approach to travel design—combining deep cultural insight with a commitment to creating bespoke journeys tailored to each client. 

The awards ceremony took place on March 2, 2026, at Essence of Luxury Travel, a leading international luxury travel event held in Phuket, Thailand. While Ikeda did not receive the top honor, this nomination underscores the global recognition of her work and the value delivered by XPERISUS. The company will continue to build on this recognition as it pursues further growth and excellence.
