Travel company scoops prestigious title at Travolution Awards

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - October 17th, 2011 - Expedia.co.uk, the UK’s leading travel booking site, was named ‘Best Holiday Booking Website’ at the Travolution Awards 2011 last week. The coveted award, which was voted for solely by consumers, will be the third Expedia has won this year.

The awards ceremony, which took place on 11th October at The Roundhouse in London, saw Expedia fend off stiff competition from the likes of Thomas Cook and Virgin Holidays, to scoop the award.

Andy Washington, Managing Director for Expedia in the UK & Ireland, says; “We are very proud to have received recognition at the Travolution Awards. Customer experience is of utmost importance to us, so to have been named ‘Best Holiday Booking Website’ by our customers is fantastic. We are constantly improving the booking experience and these awards, together with two we received from the Globe Travel Awards, testify that consumers are pleased with the investments we have made to further enhance Expedia.co.uk.’
