RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 04, 2010 – For the second year in a row, Mondial Assistance was honored by the travel industry’s most influential national trade publication for innovation in travel technology. The company was presented a silver medal by the Travel Weekly Magellan Awards in the area of online travel services for its AgentMax travel agent software.
The newly enhanced desktop software program features easy claims filing through a direct link, the ability to modify a policy directly from AgentMax, onscreen plan comparison, an email quote feature, and the ability to sell plans with add-ons within the same transaction. AgentMax is designed to help travel agents access Mondial’s Access America® travel insurance quickly and easily.
The Travel Weekly Magellan Awards honor the best in travel and salute outstanding travel professionals in a broad range of industry segments, including hotels and resorts, travel destinations, cruise lines, online travel services, airlines and airports, travel agents and agencies, tour operators, and car rental companies.
“We take pride in being recognized by Travel Weekly, just as we take pride in creating an efficient software program that makes the jobs of travel agents easier,” said Beth Godlin, managing director of Mondial Assistance USA. “Being recognized amongst our peers in the travel industry drives us to continually innovate and seek new ways to improve our technology solutions.”
The Magellan Awards are judged and overseen by a one-of-a-kind panel of top travel professionals representing the best names and most accomplished leaders from the industry. In determining winners, entries do not compete with one another, instead they are judged against a standard of excellence based on the long experience of Travel Weekly. To uphold this high standard of excellence, a category may have multiple winners, or may have no winners at all.
“This year’s Magellan Award winners have once again raised the bar,” said Arnie Weissmann, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly. “The overall caliber of entries this year was outstanding and we’re proud to salute this year’s winners who represent a diverse and accomplished group of travel professionals and industry leaders.”
