Carnival Cruise Lines has named itravel2000?.com, a Travelzest Company (AIM:TVZ), one of six ?Funtastic? travel partners of the year for 2010. This new awards program replaces Carnival's previous ?Partner of the Year? program in an effort to better recognize top partners from each sales region, as well distinguishing pre-eminent strategic partners.

?Funtastic? partners are selected from each of Carnival's four U.S. sales territories, one from Canada, and one from its group of strategic partners. Selections are made based on year-over-year growth, improvement in key performance metrics, and overall partnership strength. Carnival's team of business development managers submit nominations, which are then narrowed to six winners by the Company's sales leadership team.

Joni Rein, vice president of worldwide sales for Carnival Cruise Lines said: ?We congratulate itravel2000?.com on the many accomplishments they've achieved throughout the past year and thank them for their tremendous support. These partners exemplify the reason why so many of us chose to work in the travel industry – to have fun, be successful and help people realize their vacation dreams. We're inspired by their partnership and by the many valued travel partners we work with every day.?

Jonathan Carroll, President of itravel2000, said:

?We are thrilled to be recognized in this way. We are always striving to impress our clients with our passion for travel and excellent service, while creating lasting relationships. The award of this partnership illustrates the exemplary offering that we give to our customers.?
