ALBANY COUNTY CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU WEBSITE EARNS 1ST PLACE IN MAJOR NORTH AMERICAN TRAVEL MEDIA COMPETITION

Troy, N.Y. - In conjunction with the Albany County Convention & Visitors Bureau (ACCVB), L&P Media is pleased to announce a first place win from the North American Travel Journalists Association (NATJA) annual awards competition.

NATJA announced that the ACCVB website: www.albany.org won first place for a destination website in the 2009 annual awards competition, in the marketing budget less than $400,000 category. The Albany website was re-designed in early 2009 to mirror the new look of the Albany, An Amazing Discovery destination brand. The multi-use website acts an information center for area visitors, residents, press, ACCVB members, and meeting and convention planners.

“It is such a pleasure to partner with the travel and tourism professionals at the ACCVB”, states John Daniels, president of L&P Media. “The team at the ACCVB have a clear mission to help build and grow quality of life for our region and to promote quality travel and tourism in our region. As the web site developer and a marketing partner for the ACCVB, L&P Media is honored to be part of this winning team that developed the www.albany.org web site. L&P Media’s strong experience in tourism and destination marketing, branding, robust content management system solutions and multimedia disciplines, all contributed to the success of this project”.

The NATJA Awards competition, now in its 18th, year recognizes excellence in travel writing, photojournalism, multimedia platforms, advertising, marketing and public relations for the travel and tourism industry. NATJA received more than 500 submissions from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom for this competition. “Choosing winners was difficult in this year’s competition because we received so many creative and well-executed entries in all of the categories,” says Helen Hernandez, CEO of the membership organization.
