ZUJI wins best on line travel agent award

Monday, 13 Oct, 2006 0

During the 17th Annual Travel Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner held in Pattaya, Thailand last night attended by travel professionals in Asia Pacific, ZUJI CEO Scott Blume received the prestigious TTG Travel Industry Award on behalf of ZUJI sites and teams located in Australia (zuji.com.au), Singapore (zuji.com.sg), Hong Kong (zuji.com.hk), Taiwan (zuji.com.tw), Korea (nextour.co.kr), New Zealand (zuji.co.nz) and India (Travelocity.co.in) which will be launched soon.

Scott said, “This award recognises ZUJI’s historic and growing popularity with travellers throughout Asia Pacific, our commitment to the Region and the passion and skills of the ZUJI team members who help create, manage and market ZUJI’s unique online travel sites in a highly competitive environment.”

Scott said that as more consumers realise the benefits of logging-on to book travel, more local and global companies are seeking to reap the financial potential of the growing industry, but few have the scale or established trust of ZUJI, which has been operating for many years in Asia Pacific.

He added that the key to ZUJI’s ongoing success was ensuring that travellers’ needs are always the driving force behind the evolution of the ZUJI travel sites, matched with having a long term view and confidence in the team and business model.

ZUJI distributes product to a growing traveller base of more than one million members and in addition to access to a comprehensive range of airfares, hotels, packages and other travel products, ZUJI has worked closely with many suppliers to offer tactical deals supported by fast to market, marketing campaigns.

This week ZUJI also launched new ‘hotel guru’ enhancements that will make it easier for our customers to shop for hotels, with this new functionality including the ability to select up to four hotels and compare them side by side based on a range of attributes – location, star rating, photos, amenities and price.

Scott said, “We have also introduced tools that make it easier for customers to refine their search by price range, star rating, location or hotel name and these new features, in addition to our existing traveller reviews and mapping functionality will allow travellers to more easily find a hotel that best suits their needs, also allowing hoteliers a new way to feature their hotels to ZUJI‘s audience of travellers”.
