Hoteliers / Representatives Blanket New York Tri-State Area, Meeting Hundreds Of
Top Selling Travel Agents

(NEW YORK, NY, December,2009) - The Anguilla Tourist Board, North America team
kicked off the festive season with their annual December Fall Seminars in the
New York tri-state area, one of Anguilla’s core demographic regions in the
USA. The Fall Seminars serve two major purposes; a way of saying Thanks to the
area’s high producing travel agents who have remained consistently loyal in
their support of Anguilla as a tourism destination and as an outlet for
Anguillian hoteliers to engage in one on one interaction with the area’s high
producing travel agents. Each event began with a trade show component followed
by individual presentations by the hotelier.
Hotels represented included Cap Juluca, represented by Charles Black III,
Director of Sales & Marketing, Carimar Beach Club represented by General
Manager, Fred Thompson; Cuisinart Hotel & Spa, represented by David Lyons,
Director of Sales & Marketing; Malliouhana Resort and Spa represented by Daphne
Warner; Paradise Cove Resort and Ultimacy Villa Retreat, represented by
Proprietor Sherille Hughes; Viceroy Anguilla Resort & Residences, represented by
Brent Hall, Director of Leisure Sales; and  Marva Thompson, who represented both
Blue Sea Anguilla Destination Management Company and Meads Bay Beach Villas.
The December 7 to 11 2009 week activities covered travel presentations in
Greenwich, Connecticut, Wycoff, New Jersey and two main events in Long Island
including East Meadow, Long Island and three back to back luncheon seminars with
groups of travel sellers of one of Anguilla’s largest Tour Operators, Travel
Impressions in Farmingdale, Long Island. A luncheon presentation with corporate
and incentive meeting planners from fortune 500 companies, also formed part of
the week’s activities providing an excellent opportunity for further
exploration in this market niche and for which the island is progressively
targeting.
The week culminated with a dinner with members of APANY, The Anguilla
Progressive Association of New York helmed by Anguillian, Carlson Connor .
