GLASGOW WINNER: FIONA BIBBY FROM THE TRAVEL ARCHITECT<br />

<strong>Selling</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> was joined by<br />

VisitGuernsey and leading tour<br />

operators Airways Holidays, Premier<br />

Holidays and Prestige Holidays,<br />

who were on hand to answer trade<br />

questions about the island and offer<br />

three agents a chance to visit<br />

Guernsey themselves.<br />

Speaking at the Leeds event, Michelle<br />

Harriman from Worldchoice said:<br />

“Guernsey is proving increasingly<br />

popular with clients of mine, I actually<br />

had two recent enquiries within two<br />

days and sold a two-week holiday<br />

costing £3,169 just the other day! I find<br />

Guernsey a good recommendation for<br />

clients interested in history or walking.”<br />

Wendy Pedder, VisitGuernsey, added:<br />

“It was great to see so many agents at<br />

our events. The informal format gave<br />

us the chance to answer the agents’<br />

questions and get a real conversation<br />

going about our destination.”<br />
