award at the annual World Travel Awards this
week. The company specialise in providing special group holiday experiences.
The well-respected site pipped other industry leading providers, such as Expedia and
Travelocity, to the award. Rovia has built its name providing pre-packaged holiday
experiences to the young group market. The award committee recognised Rovia's commitment
to using cutting-edge technology to provide its customers with the best possible
experience; their online search engine automatically matches user preferences to the best
deals available.
Speaking after the award, Rovia President Mike Putman expressed his delight, noting
that the award "reaffirms Rovia's position as a prominent online travel company".
Lovendar, an innovative online company providing couples with unique gift, holiday and
activity ideas, has announced the launch of its brand new iPhone application
[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lovendar-app-takes-the-guesswork-out-of-love-183827171.html ]
, taking its popular platform to the growing mobile market.
The company's aim is to "take the guesswork out of loving relationships". Lovendar's
new mobile app plans to reach a much wider audience, having been made available in a range
of iTunes stores across the world. Couples who use the new application can add their own
gift priorities, favourite activities and suggestions, whilst giving their partner access
to a Facebook style timeline of ideas for inspirational gifts and treats around Christmas,
Valentine's Day and birthdays.
Unlike other forms of social network, the new app creates an entirely private stream
for couples, with third parties excluded from any shared information. Instead, the app
aims to "help relationships grow and flourish".
Document Security Systems (DSS), a company specialising in anti-counterfeit and secure
storage of documentation for large corporations, has revealed that a proposed merger

with tech
group Lexington Technology is set to be completed in 2013.
According to Lexington CEO Jeff Ronaldi, the two companies "have every expectation
that the merger will be completed as scheduled", with a shareholder vote to approve the
negotiations set to be held in the spring of 2013. The motivation behind the merger has
largely been attributed to the wealth of patents held by DSS, with Lexington also spurred
on by their impressive financial results for the third quarter of 2012.
