Galway Agents treated to a very special TPG Appreciation Event

TPG – Travel Partners Group, in partnership with Shannon Airport and Visit Portugal, hosted an incredible Galway Agent Appreciation Event aboard the MS Corrib Princess! With 55 vibrant travel agents and suppliers in the mix, the atmosphere was buzzing with fun, engaging conversations and lots of laughter amongst great company.

Alan Sparling from ASM Ireland kicked off the evening by extending a warm welcome to everyone, emphasizing that the event was a heartfelt ‘thank you’ from the TPG group for all the amazing support from the trade.

Carlos from Visit Portugal captivated the audience with an insightful presentation about the exciting increase in flights from Ireland, especially from Shannon Airport. And let’s not forget the thrilling moment when Declan Power from Shannon Airport gave away six pairs of tickets to stunning destinations including Portugal, Madeira, Spain, and the USA, not to mention a fantastic selection of goody bags and prizes from TPG members!

TPG also celebrated the remarkable careers of Frances Grogan and Cormac Meehan, as Paul Manning from Hertz honoured their significant contributions over the years. Clare Dunne, CEO of ITAA, took the mic to share her appreciation for TPG’s efforts in organizing such a memorable evening and expressed kind words about the legacies of Cormac and Frances.

To top off this magical evening, we were treated to a dazzling display of Irish dancing performed by the talented crew members aboard the Corrib Princess!

Mark your calendars for the final TPG Agent Appreciation Event of 2025, which is set for Thursday, September 11th, at McGeough’s Bar & Restaurant in Dundalk — it promises to be another unforgettable night!

TPG members include ASM Ireland, Blue Insurance, Discover Travel, BookaBed, Amadeus, Hertz, Disneyland Paris, Travel Focus, MSC, Crystal Ski & Irish Ferries.
