The 2023 Irish Travel Trade Awards in association with Virgin Atlantic are fast approaching and we want to take a moment to thank our valued sponsors – without them, this celebration would not be possible!
Virgin Atlantic bolster its commitment to the Irish Travel Trade by taking Headline Sponsorship of the 2023 Irish Travel Trade Awards for the second consecutive year.
“Having just returned to the travel industry after ten years it is safe to say lots has changed. This industry has had to face so much adversity over the past few years, and yet it remains as resilient as ever and those involved are still as passionate, positive and hardworking as I remember.
I am delighted Virgin Atlantic has chosen to, once again, be the Headline Sponsor of the ITTN awards. I think it is the perfect platform to shine a spotlight on our wonderful industry and to honour companies and their teams who work so hard to bring people’s travel dreams to life, be it travel agents, hotel suppliers, airlines, or tourist boards, the list goes on.
The ITTN awards are a time when we can say thank you for all the support. It’s a night of celebration, style, and fun, and I am delighted to be a part of that on behalf of Virgin Atlantic.”
