In all there were over 358 valid nominations
across the 12 categories, including Best Airline
Site, Best Car Rental, Best Hotel Site, Best Cruise
& Ferry Site, Best Online-only agency Site,
Best Tour Operator Site and Best Travel Management
Site.
The winning sites in the 2005 Travel & Tourism
Web Awards were presented with their trophies
on Friday April 22nd in London.
The aim of the Travel & Tourism Web Awards
was to recognise those who do the simple things
right, often the most difficult task any of us
face. In online terms this means clear purpose,
easy navigation, effective and aesthetically-pleasing
design, and minimal obstruction in the course
of a user getting what they have visited the site
for.
The shortlist for the Best Travel Management
Website Award included the following business
travel websites:
potravel.co.uk
merlinonline.net
lonsdaletravel.co.uk
waytetravel.co.uk

'Business Travel is a hugely important part of TravelMole's
remit, and this category is designed to cater directly
for it. Those that stuck their heads above the parapet
had a range of aspects to commend them, but straightforward
visual appeal was something they all had in common.
On the other hand judges' feedback was that many could
do from "lightening up" a little.'
'The travel management website category, sponsored
by Dataflex, was won by Wayte Travel, which also had
its studentflights.co.uk website short-listed in the
travel agency category. Designed by a web designer and
former travel agent, the site was praised for its attention
grabbing and clear homepage and effective content delivery...'
Wayte Bros Ltd managing director Chris Morris told
TravelMole: “We have won this award two year’s
running, which is a great achievement. It’s a reflection
of the success of this website and its ability to attract
new business to Wayte Travel.”
