QuoteBanana on Travolution Shortlist

BASILDON, England - Travel insurance price comparison site QuoteBanana has been shortlisted for the Travolution Awards 2009. The company was a contender in the travel insurance website category.

The awards, which had its third annual ceremony last night, recognise the achievements of both the traditional travel market as well as the ever-growing online sector. Travolution is the UK’s leading multi-media brand for the online travel industry, providing essential information, commentary, market intelligence and analysis for anyone in, or running an online travel business.

Despite missing out on an award this time, QuoteBanana’s nomination is a well deserved industry doff-of-the-cap for a company that has seen 500% sales growth since May 2008. It’s unique features have seen it jostle for position with established industry leaders.

According to Travolution’s adjudicators, contenders for the award must be seen to have “originality of design and features, levels of innovation against wider web community, success of the website within the market and overall user experience.”

Among the attributes that have made QuoteBanana a nominee for the prestigious gong is its use of week-round call centres. It also proudly boasts over-the-phone medical screening, something which is unusual in this sector.

As the nomination would suggest, their impact on the travel insurance comparison business has not gone unnoticed. Gocompare.com Chief Executive Hayley Parsons had this to say:

“QuoteBanana.co.uk and Drakefield are great people to work with - they are extremely knowledgeable about the travel insurance industry and they have delivered a fantastic comparison service for our customers …and on time!”

QuoteBanana will be hoping to capitalise on this year’s nomination with an award at next year’s Travolution event.
