SEPTEMBER 22, 2009 - TravelCLICK, the leader in hotel ecommerce solutions, has won 20 awards for website design excellence, including the Best Hotel and Lodging Website, in the Web Marketing Association's 2009 International WebAward competition. With industry-leading website design and its award-winning booking engine iStay, named also by the Web Marketing Association as the best web interactive application for the hotel and lodging industry, TravelCLICK has emerged as the premier digital agency for the global hospitality industry.

This year's competition for website agencies worldwide drew more than 2,000 sites, from 45 countries that were judged in 96 industry categories. TravelCLICK won the most awards in the hotel and lodging category, ranking third overall of top agency winners. Entries were judged on design, copy writing, innovation, content, interactivity, navigation, and use of technology.

TravelCLICK also won the Best Hotel and Lodging Website Award for the Albert Hotel in Riga, Latvia (www.alberthotel.lv). The Albert Hotel is a unique budget hotel named after Albert Einstein and known for its modern design.

Featuring 'dynamic best rate' on the home page and clean, simple navigation, the new site provides an enhanced guest experience and communicates the true spirit of the hotel.
