US, June 2025 – Travel Lifestyle Network (TLN) is proud to announce Dov Kalmann, Founder and Chairman of “Terranova Destination Marketing & Consultancy” —Israel’s leading destination marketing and public relations agency—as the recipient of the 2025 Judy McClusky Award. This prestigious recognition honors a TLN member who exemplifies excellence, innovation, and meaningful contribution to the global network and support of the travel marketing industry.
Founded in Europe in 2005 by Hanna Kleber, President of Germany’s KLEBER Group, and the late Judy McClusky, the Travel Lifestyle Network was built on the belief that world-class communications must be both globally strategic and locally rooted. Today, TLN comprises more than 350 professionals across 22 member agencies, serving over 500 clients worldwide, including national tourism boards, boutique hotels, cruise lines, airlines, and lifestyle brands.
Dov Kalmann’s journey mirrors the founding values of TLN—innovation, integrity, and connection. From building Terranova from the ground up in 2001, he transformed the agency into a powerhouse of destination marketing, known for its bold ideas, deep industry insights, and unwavering commitment to client success. Under his guidance, Terranova has elevated Israel’s role in the global tourism conversation and developed successful collaborations with major tourism boards and destinations including Thailand, Hungary, Austria and Abu Dhabi as well as hospitality and aviation brands, including Air Seychelles, the Anantara and Beachcomber hotel chains and many more.
“My one and only encounter with Judy in 2024 in her office had a profound impact on my professional career. Within a month after our meeting, I sold my tour operator company, joined the TLN and since then, fully focus on destination marketing. I now humbly accept the second gift by Judy – the reward in her name. What a heartwarming expression of solidarity and friendship and what an exceptional privilege to be a member of this outstanding team of tourism and marketing leaders. The combined know-how, creative thinking and worldwide contacts of TLN is an enormous asset.”
“Dov is the embodiment of what the Judy McClusky Award stands for,” said David Zapata, TLN Executive Chair of the Board. “He brings passion, professionalism, and vision to everything he does—whether it’s building relationships, creating campaigns, or mentoring the next generation. He has not only helped shape the TLN community but has set a benchmark for how deeply personal and impactful destination marketing can be.”
A natural storyteller and strategist, Dov’s leadership has always been grounded in human connection. Terranova’s evolution is a true testament to vision, resilience, and the power of partnership. The agency’s team of storytellers, headed by Dov’s son Imri, continues to bridge cultures and inspire travelers, grounded in a love for discovery and the belief that sustainable tourism can be a force for connection and mutual understanding. The name of Terranova reflects the values of responsible tourism. It is the firm belief of Dov, Imri and their team that tourism can create a better world for hosts, clients and all stakeholders alike. Tourism for the sake of peace and co-existence is the underlying raison d’être of Terranova.
From Tel Aviv to Bangkok, from Budapest to Seychelles, Dov Kalmann’s influence resonates far beyond borders—and now, with the 2025 Judy McClusky Award, his legacy is celebrated across the TLN global community.
