May proved to be another action-packed month for the TravelMedia.ie team—filled with travel, events, and a few well-deserved holidays.
Abu Dhabi Fam Trip with Rotana and Etihad
This May, Susan Craddock joined fellow members of the Irish travel trade on a memorable fam trip to Abu Dhabi with Rotana. The group travelled in style with Etihad Airways, soaking up the local culture and experiencing a selection of luxurious Rotana resorts first-hand. From the thrills of Ferrari World to a tour of the iconic YAS Marina Circuit, the group gained valuable insights into Rotana’s offering and Abu Dhabi’s world-class attractions. Huge thanks to Rotana for their warm hospitality!
Barbados at the West Indies Cricket Match
On Sunday, May 25th, BTMI and the Barbados Embassy in Ireland welcomed a group of VIP guests to the final ODI test between Ireland and the West Indies at Clontarf Cricket Club. Among the attendees were key members of BTMI, members of the Bajan embassy to Ireland, Irish travel media, travel trade, and members of the Bajan diaspora in Ireland. TravelMedia.ie supported with media and trade invitations, as well as preparing a taste of the Caribbean with homemade Bajan rum punch—featuring Mount Gay Eclipse, tropical juices, and fresh citrus.
Guests enjoyed morning refreshments, a free bar, and a two-course lunch with wine followed by afternoon canapés. The match ended with the West Indies victorious, levelling the series 1-1. A sunny day of sport, culture and Caribbean flavour!
