"It is a tremendous honor for us to receive one of the most prestigious awards in the travel industry," Brad Tolkin said. "Royal Caribbean International has been a very reliable partner for us, and I'm glad to know that the feeling is mutual. I'm also very proud of all of our great employees at World Travel Holdings. Our extraordinary relationship with Royal Caribbean is the result of a team effort, and every day I feel appreciative to work with such a talented, professional, dedicated group."

In his presentation speech, Goldstein identified WTH as RCI's "go-to account" and as having "undisputed presence in the travel community." In particular, he commended WTH's ability to drive tremendous sales results on multiple occasions and in a variety of situations. Goldstein cited several instances in which WTH went "above and beyond" other partners.

"This account's ability to quickly shift focus, effectively market and move the needle on a variety of products is only one of the many examples of why they deserve this award," Goldstein said. He also thanked WTH, a member of RCI's advisory board, for help with launching a VIP program and for its assistance in developing a training program to help over 500 call center agents improve their selling strategies. Dedicated teamwork best characterizes the relationship between WTH and RCI, and both parties look forward to another stellar year working together in 2008.

Through employee contributions and rider sponsorship, Vacation Outlet and WTH donated over $12,000 to the Dana Farber/Jimmy Fund this year. In addition, WTH holds an annual corporate fundraising event that allows all employees to contribute towards finding a cure for cancer, while fondly remembering the former president who was committed to the cause and lived life to its fullest.
