"Tonight was great! It's really unusual in terms of the format and theme, well- attended and thoroughly enjoyable. I hope to come next year. The speed dating was really useful for product updates" Gloria Gilbert, Collettes Travel
"There were loads of people to see – such a wide variety of countries and lots of luxury travel representatives. I’m very impressed with the venue, the food is good and there is a real buzz about the place. I've learnt a few things tonight. For one, I didn't know much about Air Europa's network to the Caribbean." Linda Willmott, Willmott Associates
"It's unusual to have such a mix of product in one place. I've talked to tourist boards from Europe and the Far East, an airline, city hotels, beach resorts and cruise providers. It's really useful to be able to meet these people face-to-face because then you have a contact for life. The prizes are a great incentive too!" Javier Sanchez, Kanoo Travel
