TESTIMONIALS FROM TTG VIRTUAL EVENTS

Here's a selection of testimonials from attendees and exhibitors at past TTG Virtual events:

What exhibitors have to say about TTG Virtual:

"The Nassau Paradise Island Promotion Board took part in the first TTG Luxury Virtual Event and we were really surprised with the outcome. We met, trained, handed out brochures and collected email addresses for 130 travel agents over the two-day period. Think about this in the context of manning a stand at a physical tradeshow and you would be delighted with that kind of output. The data that we received from TTG was also excellent - we know how many of them picked up our factsheets, signed up for our training programme and registered for our booking incentives, directly as a result of our presence at the show. This is a great way to monitor the success of an event and to be able to provide real ROI data to a client."

Nadine Rankin, AMG

"I wanted to put in writing how happy we were with the inaugural TTG Virtual Luxury event.

As one of the first operators to commit our involvement to the event, we were delighted with the high level of support and guidance in advance of the event from TTG and in terms of the value we saw on the day of the event.

The calibre and volume of visiting agents was excellent and we've seen incremental business as a result of us participating in Virtual.

What we really liked about Virtual is that we can track resulting business following on from the event, given the absolute visibility of who visited us on the day. In addition, we can continue to talk to all participating agents well after the event, so it represents very good value for money as an acquisition tool.

On that basis, I'd have no hesitation in recommending this event to likeminded operators and suppliers - we've already committed to two events in 2011 and we're looking forward to seeing similar success!"

Lee Marshall, ITC

"I liked the ease of use and how informative the booths were. I also had the opportunity to speak with suppliers which is always great as being based in Scotland it's not always easy to do. The Briefcase was also a great tool for information and I think mine will be bursting at the seams!"

Caroline Donalson, Barrhead Travel

"I think it is a fabulous concept. You can visit who and when you want at your leisure. No fares to pay, aching feet or travelling."

Gillian Davis, Travel Counsellors

"One of the best travel events I've "attended", the format couldn't be better... I found the entire event really well organised and easy to access and participate in. I am also delighted with the new contacts I've made and look forward to reviewing all the presentations at a more leisurely pace over the next few days."

Strand Travel, Ireland

What suppliers have to say about TTG Virtual:

"Congratulations on the virtual conference, this was really stunning!"

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company

"What a success you must have on your hands! Many congratulations. The parts I listened to were absolutely fascinating. It was a really exciting project."

Julia Spence PR (for Bridge & Wickers)

"It is great for networking and introduction to people as you just can't walk up to and say hi at a live conference easily... Great way of avoiding the tube strike yesterday!"
