THE ISI/InterFORUM E-COMMERCE AWARDS 2000

Sponsored by BT, the Welsh Development Agency and the National Assembly for Wales.

WINNER - North Wales Holiday Cottages & Farm Houses.

"...congratulations ... on a most excellent win" - Chief Executive - Wales Tourist Board.

Having won the Welsh Regional Award, the next stage is the National Finals in London. Just getting this far is a fantastic achievement and winning this prestigious award clearly proves that our website is both developing and is engineered with you, the end user in mind.
We are so pleased to have won this award and have plans to develop the site further over the next few months. The big change currently underway is that we are adding, with the help of our web developers, the Marketsite, a new 'availability check system'. This will mean that our clients will find it much easier to check availability in all our cottages. We hope this system will be launched in the next couple of weeks.

What was the criteria for the award?
"The judges have assessed each entry into this category in the context of how e-commerce solution meets the purpose of the business. The planned impact on business, the actual commercial benefits, the application of the technology and the standard of innovation were important factors for the judging of this category. If the e-commerce solution included a website, the design, marketing and innovation of the site were also considered."

What people have said to us:
"...I just wanted to put in writing my congratulations to you and your colleagues at North Wales Holiday Cottages & Farm Houses on a most excellent win, which not only must be good for you but certainly raises the profile of the tourism industry in Wales." Jonathan Jones (Chief Executive) - Wales Tourist Board.
"Just a short note to say how delighted I was to hear of your outstanding success at the Western Mail Business Awards...
On a personal level, I take a great interest in IT innovation and especially the creative use of e-commerce. The fact that an independent tourism business such as North Wales Holiday Cottages beat off the competition from a wide range of other sectors, is a huge achievement." Philip Evans (Chairman) - Wales Tourist Board.
