Just returned from another superb Latitude cruise conference hosted by The Advantage Travel Partnership. Massive thanks to Jonny Peat, Kelly Cookes, David Forder and Danielle de Nervaux for inviting me to moderate the final session of the conference. Although it was my first time ‘in the hot seat’, I loved every second - even when the thorny issue of discounting was raised by one delegate during the Q&A session. I also want to say thank you to Eithne Williamson and Louise Craddock for allaying agents’ concerns. Really looking forward to hearing where Jonny and Kelly decide to take the growing army of agent members next year! Will it be held on an expedition ship? Read my full report here:
