Melia Hotels International join Travelbiz to connect with Irish Trade partners.

Don Shearer (Travelbiz and Travelfinders Group MD) joined the MELIÁ Hotels & Resorts International team including Carla Ferreira (Director of Luxury EMEA & Sales Corporate & MICE Eastern Markets and Scandinavia, Meliá Hotels International), Ivo Faria (Business Development Manager, Luxury EMEA), and Virginie Corthals (Director of Sales and Marketing, Meliá Hotels International), along with key trade partners from retail, online and wholesale sectors, for an exclusive dinner at SOLE Seafood & Grill on Drury Street, Dublin.

Meliá hosted the special evening dedicated to connection, conversation, and a first look at the latest developments from Meliá Luxury Brands — including Gran Meliá, ME by Meliá, The Meliá Collection, and Paradisus by Meliá. Each brand reflects the group’s commitment to exceptional design, curated experiences, and a refined sense of place.

The Irish market was highlighted as being of great strategic importance to Meliá Hotels International by Carla and the team and the evening provided an opportunity to celebrate the partnerships and trust built over the years. The dinner also served to strengthen relationships, share updates, and explore new ways to support one another and continue growing together.

 

Fiona Dobbyn (Classic Resorts) was the very lucky winner of a weeks stay in the Melia 5-star adult only hotel in Lanzarote on the night. Congratulations!

Don and the Travelbiz team will be bringing you all the very latest from the Melia International team so stay tuned to Travelbiz for more.
