Time for return of Coral route?
A well known Kiwi representative for Pacifc Island destinations and products has called for innovative ideas to boost travel in the region when it is safe to do so.
Susan Williams, of Hogan and Associates, says one such idea borrows from the past, but generated plenty of interest when she mentioned it on Facebook over the weekend.
Passing on the golf club
It was somewhat of a swansong for the organiser of the trade’s annual Travel Industry Golf Day on Friday.
After driving the event for 25 years, industry personality Mike Hogan of Hogan & Associates has passed the golf baton (or should we say golf club) to Dennis Payne of House of Travel, Orewa. With temperatures in the late 20s, cold liquid refreshments were sponsored oncourse by TRAVELinc Memo. A sausage sizzle sponsored by Allianz provided pregame sustenance. Steve Woods from Jet Park Hotels won the spot prize of flights to Fiji complete with accommodation courtesy of Fiji Airways, Marriott and Treasure Island.
