ZUJI has won the TTG Award for ‘Best Online Travel Agency’ in Asia Pacific… for the fourth consecutive year!

SINGAPORE, 10 April 2008: – SINGAPORE, 10 October 2008: ZUJI, a Travelocity company, has been voted the ‘Best Online Travel Agency’ in Asia Pacific for the fourth consecutive year. ZUJI has various sites and teams throughout Asia Pacific, serving customers in Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and India.

Scott Blume, ZUJI CEO and President of Travelocity Asia Pacific, accepted the award on behalf of his Asia Pacific team and business during the awards ceremony in Bangkok last night.

Commenting on the fourth award win, Mr Blume said: “This is an important accolade which acknowledges our industry leadership in online travel in Asia Pacific. It’s been a tough year for leisure travel, and the recognition by travel industry suppliers and peers that we offer the best online distribution option in Asia Pacific, is humbling. A truly fantastic group of people make up the ZUJI team, and on behalf of the them: thank you.”

While ZUJI offers a comprehensive selection of online travel products to consumers, its online hotel bookings are showing very solid growth. This is something Mr Blume predicts will continue following ZUJI’s recent introduction of Dynamic Packaging to many of its sites.

ZUJI’s Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India and Taiwan sites now offer the choice of package holidays to consumers. This allows travellers to control and plan their own trip, and be assured of dedicated savings on the total cost of the trip, versus separate flight and hotel bookings made on the same site. This packaging functionality also opens up a new distribution channel for suppliers seeking opaque pricing protection, and reaches a new target audience of travellers in Asia Pacific who prefer package travel.

Beyond its core business, ZUJI is also seeing significant interest in its B2B products, in particular from a wide range of websites wanting to access ZUJI’s extensive hotel content for niche consumer groups.
