Fam Trip to Argentina

We had a group of Tour Operators in Argentina a few days ago. ATP and Air Europa… hosted the Fam Trip.

The group were stuck in BUE because of the Ash Cloud. ATP and Air Europa did a fantastic job and the feedback from the group had been excellent.

The group are all finally back in the UK after enjoying an extra two days in Buenos Aires because of Ash Cloud!

Americas Workshop – Benedict Allen

Benedict Allen gave a great talk on Tuesday – explainign his love of Latin America and his first journey as a young explorer.

He cut his exploration teeth in Latin America and as such its always held a place in his heart.

But it wasnt always plain sailing – on that very first trip he was shot at by thrid rate assassins! Luckily for him they realy weren’t much good at their job.

If you’d like to know more about Benedict see: http://www.benedictallen.com/

 

Americas Workshop; day 1 review

The first day of the Americas Workshop 2011 went fantastically well!

It was a busy day with partner and client meetings plus lots of networking opportunities over coffee.

Donald of Best Bits Media was there filming the event – thank you to all those who took time out of the your busy schedules to be filmed.  We hope to produce two short films; one about the workshops and another about the wotk of Americas. We will let you know when they are ready.

Photographer Keith Hern was also present creating a photographic record of the event with plenty of images for future publicity.

It was lovely to see so many people there – partners and clients – and to know that business was being done at the tables and over the coffee cups.

We’re looking forward to day two!
