Diary Dates for Travel Centres 2013 Conference

With the words “fantastic”, “wonderful”, “brilliant”, “fabulous” and “amazing” being the most frequently used in travel agents’ descriptions of the organisation’s recent conference, Dominic Burke, Managing Director of Travel Centres, has already fixed the dates for next year’s conference: Friday 8^th – Saturday 9^th November 2013. 

Dominic told Irish Travel Trade News: “This year’s conference, which took place at Killashee House just a few weeks ago, was such a resounding success that we are already planning next year’s event! Although we haven’t yet decided on a venue (several locations have been shortlisted), we have fixed the dates and they are Friday 8^th and Saturday 9^th November – which are the Friday and Saturday immediately following World Travel Market 2013, which runs from 4^th – 7^th November.

“We have also signed a contract that will see the amazing RPJ Band providing the entertainment for the Saturday night Gala Dinner. The RPJ band is regarded as the best ‘event’ band in the UK and is fronted by Rick Parfitt jnr. — son of rock legend Rick Parfitt of Status Quo fame. Other members of the band have also performed and/or collaborated with world-class acts as diverse as Lily Allen, Wheatus, Pet Shop Boys, Amy Mcdonald, Girls Aloud, Simple Minds, Sugababes, A-Ha, Lionel Ritchie, Imogen Heap, Katherine Jenkins and the Bay City Rollers – so an amazing night of rocking everybody’s socks off is guaranteed!”
