The Zoombu team was proud to be selected as a Travel Trade Gazette Big Idea finalist last week and given complimentary tickets to enjoy the glitz and glamour of the TTG Annual Awards ceremony.   Over a thousand travel folk dressed in black tie and bling and attended the exclusive ceremony held in the upmarket Grosvenor Park Hotel in Mayfair. Good job the tickets were free as our bootstrapped start-up budgets wouldn’t have got close to covering this luxury!

The whole evening was quite spectactular as dancers from everybody’s Saturday favourite ‘Strictly’ performed for the crowd before thirty awards were presented to travel companies ranging from cruise liners to car hire operators.  Thanks to the TTG team for organizing the competition and hosting us on the night and to the judges Oliver Brendon, Paul Stayner, Jane Dyson and Chris Photi for their time. It was wonderful to meet the other travel start-up finalists and we would like to congratulate camping ninja on winning the seed funding and wish them the best of luck with their exciting new venture!
