Thank you, wholesalers!
In the May 7/14 issue
of TNW I’m quoted in
the article ‘How are you
helping?’ where I said not
all operators were willing
to offer help and training to
students.
I would like to give
feedback on that article
and send a thank-you to
suppliers who responded
positively.
We hosted a very
successful Travel Expo
at Boston College and
saw many suppliers
enthusiastically participate
– to name but a few: Air
Mauritius, Malaysia Airlines,
Qantas, Emirates Airline,
OVC, SA Parks Board,
Contiki and Amadeus. They
all set up a booth at our
college on the day and
spent the day sharing their
valuable info with our travel,
tourism and hospitality
students.
We also held a Novice
Training Day for the
second- and third-year
students at Boston last
month and Tourism Ireland,
Contiki, Busabout and
Overseas Visitors Club
were absolutely fantastic.
They spent the day giving
students the type of
product training they’d
receive as a junior or novice
travel agent.
So a very big thank-you to
those suppliers who were
willing to give their time
and effort to train up new
potential consultants!
