“In Gran Canaria, I found the session content to be of the highest order, was engrossed
throughout and came away thinking the presentations were relevant, useful and above all
interesting. 2008 was a resounding success and definitely put The Travel Convention ‘back on the
map’. I had an informative and enjoyable few days–exactly what a Conference should be!”
Jo Rzymowska, AVP & General Manager, UK & Ireland, Royal Caribbean
“We got an awful lot out of last year’s Convention in terms of meeting key travel partners and
content. The business sessions were very well designed to be useful for senior members of the
industry as well as front line staff.”
Doreen McKenzie, Proprietor, Knock Travel
“As a small business the Convention provides a great opportunity to listen to speakers
we would never be able to afford or get a chance to see. We also get the opportunity to
speak directly to heads of supplier companies who we would never normally speak to. And
sometimes we accidentally bump into other businesses that we wouldn’t initially think of,
which allows us to develop other diverse opportunities that we can add to our business.”
Tim Williamson, Customer Director, TUI UK
“Last year’s event in Gran Canaria was thought-provoking, fun and a great opportunity to
catch up with colleagues in all sectors of travel. I’m very much looking forward to this
year’s event in Barcelona and hearing about exciting developments from across our
ever-changing industry.”
Peter Shanks, Chief Commercial Officer, Carnival UK
“I’ve found that you get out of Travel Conventions what you put into them. In tough economic
times it is valuable to hear from other sectors and to be able to influence and mingle with
valued media colleagues. So I’ve booked myself a low-cost flight, registered and intend to get
the best out of it!”
Tom Knopek, Managing Director, Dollar Thrifty Europe
“I make no apology for enjoying the opportunity to mix and mingle with the great and the
good in our business. The prospect of attending another Travel Convention always brings a
positive reaction; it is a good thing that our industry body continues to hold a Conference.”
