TravelCLICK Honored with ITA's CityLIGHTS Award

(SUMMARY)
The Illinois Information Technology Association (ITA) has honored TravelCLICK with its CityLIGHTS CEO of the Year Award.

CityLIGHTS honors the state’s outstanding information technology companies and executives.
Robert Post received the CEO of the Year Award in acknowledgement of TravelCLICK’s growth and impact in the travel marketplace. From 2004 to 2006 the company’s revenues more than doubled, from $53 million to more than $112 million. This strong financial performance, combined with aggressive customer support has positioned TravelCLICK as an industry leader. One strategy that attributed to their success as a fast-growth company is their acquisitions and parterships.

The Illinois Information Technology Association is focused on building and developing the Illinois technology community through collaboration. ITA presented the award April 12 at the CityLIGHTS Awards Gala at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, attended by more than 500 technology executives from across the state.

I have attended a few industry awards galas, such as last year's NRA Salute to Excellence Gala in Chicago. In our industry, it is so important to award key leaders who raise visibility and gain greater market awareness throughout the hospitality field. TravelCLICK is a great example of a consumer-driven company, and can certainly teach alot to other industry professionals. I think this is why our industry is forever changing and evolving, because innovative ideas are so easily transferrable whether you work in a country club or Burger King. At the end of the day, its all about the customer, so any tips and suggestions from within the industry are to be welcomed and embraced.
