DELEGATES to the imminent ABTA Convention in Cairns are taking rather differing approaches to their preparations.
Jonathan Bolden, sales manager at Heathrow Express, seems to be pretty relaxed about the whole affair.
To promote the inflatable chair the company plans to offer as a prize to visitors to its stand, Bolden decided to take it upon himself and wander down to the swimming pool at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel to see if the chair would double up as a lilo.
He does look very happy. No doubt he was dreaming of floating around at the Great Barrier Reef in a couple of weeks time.
Heathrow Express’ slogan is ‘Turn Up, Check In and Chill Out’ just in case you were wondering.
Meanwhile, those enthusiastic types at Tourism Queensland have their suitcases packed and are all ready to go and make their way to the airport – if you can believe the hype anyway.
