Travel Partners Group triumphant trade appreciation evening in The Deise. Happy Retirement to Colette O’Keeffe and Maria Molloy (Harvey Travel)

✅The
✅Perfect
✅Gathering

Emiliano’s Italian Restaurant in Waterford City was the venue for The Travel Partners group to take the opportunity to simply thank the retail community in the Southeast for their amazing support. Trade partners, ASM, Bookabed, TUI Ireland, MSC Cruises, Blue Insurance, Amadeus, Hetz Ireland, Travel Focus, Irish Ferries and Discover Travel thanked all retail partners in the best way possible by treating guests to the most amazing night of the finest Italian cuisine in Ireland. Emiliano and his team pulled out all the stops (as always) with unrivalled service and the finest dining experience with fine wines and atmosphere that is simply hard to beat.

The night was made all the more special as it marked the end of an era, as two of our Industry retail icons in the Southeast, Colette O’Keeffe and Maria Molloy from Harvey Travel In Waterford, retire today following a level of service and dedication to Sean Power, Ian Manto and all the Harvey Travel team, customers and wider travel trade community which stretched back to when Don Shearer (Travelbiz) booked his first Holiday, which certainly was not yesterday 😊


Ian Manto (General Manager Harvey Travel) personally thanked Colette and Maria for their amazing service and contribution to the success of Harvey Travel along with the Travel Partners Group for making the effort to thank and support the retail travel trade in Waterford, Kilkenny, Carlow, New Ross and Wexford who were present on the night.

It will be an emotional day today in Harvey Travel as Maria and Colette log off and check out for the last time in Gladstone Street. But it also means that a new chapter will begin for both Colette and Maria as they commence a brand-new journey.


On behalf of all the Travelbiz team, our travel trade followers, subscribers and valued trade partners, I wish Colette and Maria all the very best and continued success in all that they do on their next flight to new horizons.

Don Shearer (Group Managing Director Travelbiz and Travelfinders
