#TRAVELTRADETOGETHER
Don’t you just love Don’s Route 66 socks.
The Route 66 Illinois team representing Choose Chicago, Great Rivers and Routes, The Heritage Corridor and the Springfield Illinois certainly knocked the socks off invited trade and media partners at a very special event in the Westbury Hotel’s Grafton Suite. Partnered on the night by American Airlines, Caitriona Toner and Siobhan Baskin thanked all stakeholders and the trade for their amazing support on their direct service to Chicago from Dublin providing great access to all the Illinois Route 66 partners product all year round, sentiments shared by Mary Twomey (SVP Global Travel Trade Development).
A huge Travelbiz thank you to Mary Twomey, Caitriona Toner and Siobhan Baskin (American Airlines) Sarah Waggoner (The Springfield), Cory M Jobe (Great Rivers and Routes), Robert Navaro (Heritage Corridor) and Naomi Hattori (Choose Chicago) for a memorable night.
