PATA Roadshow Dublin

Our charismatic host, Chris Lee (Marketing & Events Manager), brought the PATA UK & Ireland Chapter to Dublin for a Roadshow that saw amazing suppliers apprise us of their wares. Like a speed dating event for travel agents, the novel approach is so clever in that each supplier traverses the tables for a 10 minute presentation, then moves on to the next audience! A great way to learn about these exotic places and products.

PATA (Pacific Asia Travel Association) held in the Herbert Park Hotel in Dublin’s Ballsbridge on September 17th, where agents and tour operators gathered to be ‘educated’ by the presentation of an array of wonderful products, airlines, hotels and far-flung destinations. Me thinks it may be time to travel……

Participants included:

Tourism Authority of Thailand

Bangkok Airways

Thai Airways

Singapore Airlines

Etihad Airways

TreeHouse Villas, Thailand

Outrigger Hotels & Resorts, Haad Tien Beach Resort

South Australia Tourism Commission

Leisure Time Group New Zealand
