Digital Visitor honoured by winning the 'Innovation in Travel' award.
Digital Visitor has recently been honoured by winning the ‘Innovation in Travel’ award at the coveted Globe Travel Awards 2012.
Shortlisted against some of the best travel companies in the
world - Virgin Atlantic, Kuoni and TripAdvisor - this leading UK social
media agency triumphed in what was truly a David vs. Goliaths contest.
Widely regarded as the pinnacle of the travel industry calendar, the
glamorous ceremony was held at Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 25th
January 2012 with the cream of the British Travel Industry in
attendance.
The ‘Innovation in Travel’ award was one of two special recognition awards in the Globes award programme.
This award recognises a company that has launched an innovation or
development which has had a clear impact in the travel industry, helping
a company to solve a problem, stand out from competitors or meet the
needs of its target customers.
Anthony Rawlins, CEO and Founder of Digital Visitor, said nothing at first, due to the shock of the win, but later commented;
“In all honesty, against such excellent companies, we didn’t think
we would win this one. TripAdvisor was applauded for their application
that had 10million downloads recently and so we couldn’t believe our
ears when we heard the result! It’s nice to have such recognition for
what we are trying to achieve".
He continued;
"We have always prided ourselves on making our technology and
expertise accessible to travel organisations of all sizes, and with this
year looking to be a difficult one in travel, it is our commitment,
that no matter what size the organisation; whether you have 400
bookings/passengers per annum or 40,000 per month, we can drive your
social media marketing using our applications and services to show real
returns.
Our approach to social media is unique, using our own award-winning
technology to reduce the investment, effort and resources needed to be
successful in social media. We combine this with clever planning,
strategic direction and effective implementation to make our clients
budgets go much further, and the benefits visible for years, not just
months.
This award follows a string of other recent successes for us and this
industry recognition is really a fantastic testament to the on-going
commitment of my brilliant team.
It’s going to be a big year for Digital Visitor and I guarantee you will be hearing much more from us...Watch this space!”
Digital Visitor have also recently won ‘Best Online Application’ at the Travolution Awards in November 2011.
Recognition from both these prestigious industry award programmes
highlights the significant impact that Digital Visitors social media
applications, campaigns and strategies are having on the travel
industry, and firmly positions them as one of the leading online
marketing agencies for travel companies around the world today.
Travel Weekly Group chairman, Clive Jacobs said; “Globe winners can
truly claim to be the best in the industry, and tonight we have honoured
some outstanding companies and individuals”.
