Worldchoice members making a Difference by day
11th November 2022 at 12:00 pm #TRAVELTRADETOGETHER
The Worldchoice conference lived up to all expectations and delivered on all fronts from delegate and trade partner registration, to a beautiful breakfast sponsored by Robbie Smart (Bedsonline) before making our way to the opening address from Carol Anne O’Neill (Commercial Manager Ireland).
Christian Schmelter (INUA Collection of Hotels) welcomed us all to the Fairways hotel, our home for the conference, and brought us though the full portfolio of their properties in Ireland.
The Pyramids of Giza
11th November 2022 at 12:00 pm #TRAVELTRADETOGETHER
For many of us in the group the Pyramids have been on our Bucket List for a long time. We can’t wait to get there. But first, a quick visit to the Coptic Church of the Virgin Mary (the hanging church) dating back to the 12th century and reputedly built on the ruins of two towers from the fortress of Babylon. Then the short trip to Giza. On the outskirts of Cairo, this complex consists of nine pyramids and the Great Sphinx. The three main pyramids are the Great Pyramid (the Pyramid of Khufu also called Cheops) and the nearby pyramids of his son and grandson Khafre and Menkaure. The Pyramid of Cheops is the oldest and largest and is the only Wonder of the Ancient World to remain largely intact.
Making a Difference
11th November 2022 at 12:00 pm #TRAVELTRADETOGETHER
The theme for this year’s Worldchoice conference was ‘making a difference’ and that was evident from the moment we arrived on Friday evening to the conclusion on Sunday morning. The level of interaction, energy and pure delight to be back in ‘full on’ conference mode was so good and testament to the amazing job that Carol Anne O’Neill (Commercial Manger Worldchoice) has done bringing Worldchoice members, trade and media partners back together and do what we do best.
I65 Travel Centres delegates confirmed for this weekend.
11th November 2022 at 12:00 pm #TRAVELTRADETOGETHER
Retail conference interaction continues this weekend as we look forward to this year’s 17th annual Travel Centres conference. Excitement is growing amongst agent delegates and trade partners alike as Dominic and Bernie Burke bring us back to home of Travel Centres conferences to the beautiful surroundings of the Killashee Hotel and Spa.
This year’s event will be the consortium’s largest conference since 2019 and 165 delegates in total have already registered for the conference which has been reduced to a two-night/one-day gathering. Travel Centres are also delighted to announce that they will be hosting Pat Dawson (ITAA CEO) at the Friday night dinner - yet another indication of the close working relationship that exists between the consortium and the national representative body.
Royal update the trade at the Ivy
11th November 2022 at 12:00 pm #TRAVELTRADETOGETHER
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd hosted a great evening at The Ivy in Dublin on November 9th to advertise their business plans for 2023 and ‘24. The Jonathan Swift room in The Ivy was jammed with cruise enthusiasts eager to learn the news updates from Royal Caribbean. A lively presentation by Stuart Byron (Director of Sales UK & Ireland) and our own Jennifer Callister was informative and exciting in content. The infectious enthusiasm of Michelle (ma belle!) Ryan adds to the interest as she recounts her personal experiences on board several Royal Caribbean ships.
