A great evening shared with fellow guests Tryphavana Cross, Julie Greenhill, David O’Grady, Ellie McGimpsey (Miskelly), Ray Scully, and Tony Lane — a wonderful celebration of our vibrant travel trade community.

Huge congratulations to Jonathan Adair and the Northern Ireland Travel News team for their 33rd amazing Awards event — and to all our trade partners who took home well-deserved wins!

🎉 Special shout-out to:

Oceania Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Bedsonline UK & Ireland, Flexible Autos Ireland, Aer Lingus, Emirates and Riviera River Cruises
