Lyrath Estate welcomes Travel Counsellors Conference 2024

#wearetravelcounsellors #oneteam #TCConf24 #TCIreland #travelcounsellorsireland #travelbizconnect #travelbizhub

Travel Counsellors Ireland is truly inspirational.

Meeting in the luxurious Lyrath Estate in Kilkenny, Travel Counsellors annual Conference gets ready to roll for 2024. This formidable group of professional travel men and women are in the top 5 licensed and bonded companies in Ireland. Some achievement. With Cathy Burke at the helm and Bernie Whelan as her willing Aide de Camp, this dream team heads up a brilliant business model with hugely hardworking and dedicated members and an immense amount of loyalty, drive and ambition running throughout. The focus of Travel Counsellors for the future is admirable.

Sponsors for the Conference include Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and MSC Cruises. Representing premium partners are acclaimed JetBlue, Azamara Cruise, Ponant, Melia Hotels, G Adventures and a Tent with a View. This is Travel Counsellors 19th annual Conference and 2024 promises to be bigger and better than ever. Meticulously planned and running like clockwork, the atmosphere is electric.

The aim of Travel Counsellors is to work together as ONE TEAM striving towards an enormous sales target which they grow year on year. Last year, they beat their target, so why not aim higher? As each Travel Counsellor is an independent agent (with the backing of the team, naturally), the public is assured personal service and a work ethic that goes above and beyond the call of duty. Travel Counsellors Ireland boast the highest average gross sales in the world. Another amazing statistic. The company CEO, Steve Byrne, credits a lot of this energy and exponential growth to the leadership of Cathy Burke, but also to the relentless drive for excellence of each individual member too. Truly, ONE TEAM working seamlessly towards one goal. Congratulations Travel Counsellors and continued success.

Stay tuned to Travelbiz for all the latest news. There might be fun ahead with dinner and Welcome Party sponsored by Royal Caribbean. Well, if you work hard, you’re entitled to play hard.
