Europcar brings home World Travel Award

Europcar Asia Pacific has brought home the 2007 World Travel Awards accolade for Australasia’s leading car hire company for the second consecutive year.

Now in its 14th edition, the World Travel Awards symbolise business excellence and are dedicated to the contributions and achievements in the travel and tourism markets.

Europcar Asia Pacific was one of a number of Australasian companies that recently picked up a coveted award at the regional World Travel Awards ceremony in Bangalore in India.

Josh Green, Chief Executive Officer for Europcar Asia Pacific, said the company was thrilled to receive international recognition two years in a row.

“This award caps off yet another fantastic year for Europcar, which is no stranger to the awards stage after collecting the same distinction in 2006,” he said.

“Since the start of our operation in Australia six years ago, Europcar has made a significant contribution to the world’s travel and tourism markets and this award goes a long way in recognising the company’s input during the past year.”

The prestigious awards are handed out to the winners of various categories as voted by thousands of industry professionals from 167,000 travel agencies, tour and transport companies and tourism organisations in more than 160 countries.
