For Robbie
The Irish Travel Industry Awards is taking place in the Mansion House Dublin Tonight the 26th of January. One of the objectives of the evening is to raise money for a good cause which is done through a raffle.
This year we lost a dear industry colleague, Robbie Smart who worked for many travel companies during his career including Cassidy Travel, Travelport, Camino Ways and most recently Bedsonline.
Robbie died suddenly and is survived by his wife and young family. As an industry we would like to support Robbie’s family and, with their permission, we have decided to donate money raised from the raffle to the Robbie Smart Fund.
