EC Awarded Star For Innovation In International Awards
St. Julians, Malta (PRWEB) September 25, 2009 -- Debuting during the summer season, the superlative performance of EC's "Freestyle Malta" junior programme garnered first place in the highly coveted Innovation category. Taking the industry by storm, "Freestyle Malta" is a programme designed for 16-20 year old students who are looking for more than traditional summer courses. The course focuses on the needs and requirements of this specific age group.
Language Travel Magazine, the leading international language industry publication distributed to 36,000 professionals across 110 countries, has held the annual awards ceremony for the past 4 years, in which time, EC has been nominated for the Star Chain School award twice and for the Star Innovation award twice. The language travel industry is an exceedingly competitive market made up of some 'heavyweight' international players. EC as a Maltese owned company, with its Head Office in Malta, has been recognised by the industry's movers and shakers for its ability to thrive in a competitive environment.
Upon accepting the award EC's Executive Chairman Andrew Mangion stated, "The awards are voted for by over 1000 language travel agents from around the world and it is a very clear message to us all that our hard work, ideas, dedication and commitment are being recognised by the industry time and time again...winning the award this year was just the cream on the cake and I can't thank the EC team enough for everything that they do on a daily basis."
