CARIBTOURS Trade Sales Manager, Isabel Amsion, thanked agents for their continued support and highlighted CARIBTOURS’ reputation for expert knowledge, high service standards, and commitment to the Irish market. Isabel also noted the strong sales performance to Europe, particularity Greece and mentioned the popular €150 per person deposit on all flight-inclusive packages as well as their generous commission structures. Luxury Travel Manager Helen Baker from CARIBTOURS was also present to engage with agents.

The evening featured presentations from key luxury partners including the Bahamas Tourist Office, Sunlife Resorts, The Lux Collective, Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, and The Wellwind Collection.

A multiple prize draw concluded the evening, with John Barrett of Magic Vacations winning a 4-night stay at Salterra, Turks & Caicos.
