TPG Triumph in the Deise!

#Traveltradetogether

What a night! The Travel Partners Group hosted an unforgettable trade appreciation evening in the Deise, bringing together some of the industry’s best for…The Perfect Gathering.

Don Shearer (Travelbiz & Travelfinders Group Managing Director), might’ve had a little pasta on his lens but still captured the spirit of the evening perfectly! (Apols).

Hosted at the incredible Emiliano’s Italian Restaurant, the event was a heartfelt thank you to the amazing retail travel community across the Southeast. From Waterford, Carlow, New Ross, Thurles, and Cork, our travel professionals came together for a night of celebration, connection and, of course, top-tier Italian food and wine!

With flawless service and a buzzing atmosphere, Emiliano and his team delivered a dining experience that was nothing short of spectacular – as always!

Our wonderful trade partners—ASM, Bookabed, TUI Ireland, Crystal Ski, MSC Cruises, Blue Insurance, Amadeus, Hertz Ireland, Travel Focus, Irish Ferries, Disneyland Paris, and Discover Travel—pulled out all the stops to show their appreciation to the retail partners who support them every day.

Ian Manto, General Manager of Harvey Travel, shared a warm thank you on behalf of local trade partners, applauding the Travel Partners Group for their ongoing support and commitment to the trade in the South East.

And let’s not forget the one-of-a-kind prize draw! The dynamic duo Alan Sparling and Noel McAuliffe brought the excitement, as partners dialled in live to surprise trade guests with amazing prizes. Just a reminder—it pays to have your phone handy sometimes!
