Rezgo, a free online booking solution for tour and activity companies, has been selected for round three of the New Ventures Innovation Competition.
Vancouver, Canada, June 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Rezgo.com, an innovative tour and activity booking system that connects suppliers with customers and travel retailers for real-time bookings, has been selected to move forward to round three in the New Ventures BC (NVBC) business competition. Rezgo was chosen out of 149 other companies to move into round three of the competition.
“I am very proud to have Rezgo.com recognized as a Top 30 company by New Ventures BC.” Said Stephen Joyce, CEO of Sentias Software, the company behind Rezgo. “This recognition really validates all of the efforts our team has put into making an innovative product for tour and activity suppliers and their retailers.”
The New Ventures competition consists of four competitive rounds of increasing complexity, with a jury eliminating businesses after each round. In the words of NVBC Board Member Michael Volker, the jury's job is to "Pick the most likely to be commercially viable with the greatest value".
