PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas - Comfort Suites Paradise Island has won a 2012 TravelMole Caribbean Web Award.
In
a ceremony in the Bahamas prior to the recent Caribbean Hotel and
Tourism Association's Caribbean Marketplace, the 229-all suite property
copped the top award for its website www.comfortsuitespi.com in the
large accommodations category.
In its second year, the awards
attracted a higher number of nominations as knowledge of the event, run
jointly with the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA), spreads
throughout the region.
Graham McKenzie of TravelMole, whose
company advocates for a greater focus on online marketing within the
Caribbean, credited Comfort Suites Paradise Island's website for its
strong graphics and overall innovation. "I think it's very simple to use
so if people want to book a room or suite, it's easy to do ... it's
just simple things like that that, unfortunately, a lot of the Caribbean
(doesn't) take to heart, but Comfort Suites (has)."
Bill Clegg,
regional vice president for Brand Performance and Programs of Choice
Hotels International, said "We are extremely proud of the team at the
franchised Comfort Suites Paradise Island for demonstrating excellence
not just on the supply side of the business, but through a refreshing
and robust approach to online marketing."
The Caribbean Web
Awards credit websites that demonstrate excellent graphic communication,
superb online copy and salesmanship, and the best examples of
strategies and techniques for enhanced site conversion.
