Yesterday, AAA presented its 2009 Preferred Partner awards to travel industry suppliers, including three awards to Disney. Disney Cruise Line received a “Best in Product” award as did Walt Disney Travel Company for AAA Vacations®, which also received “Best in Marketing” recognition.
AAA’s Preferred Partner Awards recognizes excellence in five categories – marketing, service, sales support, product, and technology – and includes the AAA Travel Partner of the Year Award. To determine the winners, AAA surveyed its club travel agency executives, who rated 40 AAA preferred travel partners. Eleven travel industry suppliers received awards at last night’s awards dinner, held in Dallas.
“AAA is able to provide consumers with access to unmatched travel values via its strong industry partnerships," said Doug Bower, vice president, AAA Travel. "The companies selected for this honor are setting the standard in providing our members and customers with premier travel experiences and outstanding service," he said.
It is the second time Disney Cruise Line has received AAA preferred partner recognition in the past 10 years; the last time was in 2007, when Disney Cruise Line won a 2006 “Partner of the Year" for its products and services. Walt Disney Travel Company for AAA Vacations® most recently received AAA Preferred Partner recognition last year, with 2008 awards for “Best in Marketing” and “Best in Product."
AAA's preferred partners offer exclusive benefits and discounts to AAA members, such as AAA Walt Disney World Travel discounts.
