Global roaming sim card provider WorldSIM has swept the Business Travel Show Innovation Awards 2009. WorldSIM won the Awards in the category of Best Traveller Services provider as well as clinching the coveted Gold Award for Innovation, which is awarded to the company who polls the most votes overall.
WorldSIM's global sim card allows travellers to receive calls for FREE on their mobile phones when they travel and make outbound calls at a fraction of the cost of normal operators.
Commenting on the awards, Malika Jaffer, Business Development Manager at WordSIM said, "We are thrilled to have won. The fact that a telecommunications company has won this year in an arena traditionally dominated by the big travel companies highlights two very important aspects especially in the current economic environment. First, travellers are more and more concerned with all aspects of their travel and keeping in touch cost effectively is becoming increasingly important. Mobile roaming costs can often mount up to more than the cost of a traveller's ticket. WorldSIM can save travellers up to 95% on their mobile bills. Second, travel agents and travel suppliers are looking to diversify their offerings to their clients and are actively looking for new sources of revenue. WorldSIM does both - it offers agents a way to save their clients money and for them to earn life-long commissions."
The Business Travel Show Innovation Awards aim to recognise those business travel suppliers who have created highly innovative products, services and processes for buyers, travellers or other suppliers in the last 12 months. Presenting the awards on Thursday 12 February 2009 at the Business Travel Show held at Earls Court, Event Director David Chapple said, "WorldSIM's global roaming sim card in an excellent product for use by anyone travelling - helping them keep in touch better and cheaper. WorldSIM's offering is also an excellent example of entrepreneurship and innovation that exists in the industry - broadening the traditional offerings of suppliers."
