&endash; Malta-based hotel operator CHI Hotels
& Resorts (formerly Corinthia Hotels
International) has won the coveted title of
'Leading Provider of Travel Deals, Europe' at the
Travelzoo Awards 2008 gala ceremony held recently
in Chicago. In determining this
year's winners, the travel internet site asked
their experts to evaluate over 67,000 deals
featured in 2007. Using the criteria of
Reliability, Appeal, Competitiveness, Consistency
and Quality in 20 different categories, their 40
deal experts selected winners among Airlines,
hotels, vacation companies, cruise agencies, cruise
lines, shows and events, car rentals and
destinations. Each Travelzoo Award is quite
prestigious, since their experts consult with more
than 900 travel companies around the world to
uncover the best deals. Tony Potter, chief
executive officer and managing director of CHI
Hotels & Resorts accepted the Leading Provider
of Travel Deals in Europe award and commented "We
are obviously delighted at being presented with
this award. Wining was no mean feat, especially
considering that our management company now
operates a multi-brand portfolio of hotels that
includes the luxury Corinthia Hotels brand
worldwide and the upscale Wyndham and Ramada Plaza
brands in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The
marketing efforts of this diverse portfolio is
largely driven by a small but talented nucleus of
people at our Malta headquarters. It is their
effort and that of their peers in the various
hotels that have gained us this unique accolade. My
congratulations go to them and my thanks to
Travelzoo for recognising their achievements in
this manner." "Every day the
travel industry inspires millions of people to
escape their daily lives and explore new places,"
said C.J. Kettler, president North
America,Travelzoo. "It is such an honour for
us to recognise the companies that are the best at
not only inspiring travellers, but creating deals
that make travel accessible, affordable and easy to
book. All 20 of our winners honoured tonight
are clearly leaders in this industry." About CHI Hotels
