LONDON, December 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ —

– Rovia granted prestigious award, Lovendar launch new app and Document Security Systems merger on course for completion

US-based digital travel company Rovia has been given the prestigious “World’s Leading Travel Booking Website” 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, 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.
