Delta's Anthony "Tony" Batista, Manager, Consolidators & Specialty Sales for Latin America & the Caribbean, presented the award to Travelong's CEO, Sam Jain. The award marks an all time high in sales for Travelong.com. "The fact that we've been able to achieve these performance numbers in such a short period of time speaks highly of our aggressive marketing strategies and Call Center Conversions with 24/7 Toll free Phone number that has enabled us to reach out to a much wider audience," noted Mr. Jain.

Mr. Jain also pointed to the Open Skies Agreement and increase in home based agents as strong indicators that sales will continue to climb in 2008.

Travelong has added 150 Call Center Reservation agents in 2007 and increased its marketing spend by 300% to generate more phone sales. Travelong's Call Center over the phone sales have quadrupled during the past year. Travelong has also begun to focus more on International Ticket sales due to an expected rise in International travelers after the signing of the Open Skies Agreement. By focusing more on Phone sales Travelong can set itself apart from Online Travel Agencies.

Travelong is targeting total sales of over 450 Million USD this year. Ronald Mastrangelo, VP said "Travelong's partnerships with its Industry suppliers are very strong and this has been critical to our growth, we expect to aggressively promote our preferred partners products and services to our over 1 Million strong client base."
