Proudest day
Oct 19th
David and I thought we were there to learn and mingle. Little did we know, we’d be walking home with the award for the Best Travel Website of the Year, trumping the big guns of the industry such as Wotif, WebJet, and VirginBlue. We felt very proud and so did Nana when she found us in the local paper.
Sponsored by Amadeus, the competition was judged by 3 independent industry leaders.
Special thanks to Martin Kelly for organising yet another insightful TRAVELtech event. Martin is a thought leader in the online travel industry and information on his events can be found at http://www.traveltrends.biz/
