We received an invite that said the words: South America, BBQ and Summer Party. That was enough to cause excitement as we attended the Latin Routes Roadshow 2017.
The event took place at the lovely Grange Hotel in Holborn. We walked into their rooftop bar and were immediately greeted by the wonderful Jessica Bain, head of trade relations at Latin Routes.
The night took the form of speed dating, giving us six minutes to chat to each supplier and we were lucky enough to score a date with the following:
Australis Cape Horn and Patagonia (specialise in expedition cruises)
Explora (high end adventure travel)
G Adventures (affordable small group tours)
Iberia/Iberia express/British airways
Opal collection
Pikaia Lodge
Senderos
Silversea Cruises
TAP Portugal
After an informative training session on South America, we enjoyed a BBQ alongside a DJ as we got to know the suppliers a little better.
Thank you to Latin Routes for an extremely fun evening.
Alexis, Carly and Julie.
