Worldchoice members making a Difference by day

#Traveltradetogether

#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. Click HERE for more.

There was great presentations and updates from Jennifer Callister and Michelle Ryan from Royal Caribbean. Al Dunbar (Sponsored by Royal Caribbean) delivered a full on fun and interactive presentation themed ‘You are the difference’. Followed by recruitment insights and a panel discussion with Barry Winkless from CPL Recruitment.

Suzanne Rowe (MSC Cruises Ireland) completed the presentation line up with a preview of the amazing MSC Europa which we will get to sample this weekend in Doha. Coffee breaks were sponsored by Olwen McKinney (Amadeus) during the day which also gave members and trade partners the opportunity to mingle and reconnect, before making their way to the networking session for the afternoon.
