All TIG Global partners in the 2008 WebAward competition recognized for outstanding website design.

TIG Global, the leading online marketing company for hospitality and travel, recently received five WebAwards from the international Web Marketing Association.

Each award highlights TIG Global's strength in website design and further supports the company's prestigious title as "eMarketer of the Year;" an honor from the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International that recognized the superior, results-oriented work TIG Global completed for the Georgetown Inn's (georgetowninn.com) online marketing program.

This year's international WebAward competition received 2,400 entries from over 45 countries and 96 industry categories. Websites were judged on design, innovation, content, interactivity, ease of use, navigation, and use of technology. Judges were comprised of independent Internet professionals including members of the media, advertising executives, site designers, corporate marketing executives, content providers, and Webmasters.

TIG Global is committed to providing custom Internet marketing solutions that deliver consistent results to its clients, regardless of geographical location, class, or travel segment.  This level of dedication contributed to a series of honors, in which every TIG Global partner that was entered into the competition received one of the coveted WebAwards:

• Café Japengo (cafejapengo.com)
• Central Michel Richard (centralmichelrichard.com)
• Nickelodeon Family Suites by Holiday Inn (nickhotel.com)
• Hotel Roger Williams (hotelrogerwilliams.com)
