Classic Collection has revealed it will hold its next conference and awards ceremony in Cyprus.
Up to 170 travel agent and hotel partners are expected to attend The Classic Awards at the Constantinou Bros Athena Royal Beach Hotel in Paphos from December 6-8, 2022.
The operator’s inaugural trade event was held at the Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel & Country Club near Birmingham in March.
Agency sales and marketing director Si Morris-Green said he was fulfilling a commitment to taking the event overseas.
He said: “We’re delighted to be able to recognise and reward the hard work of our top travel trade partners by inviting them to join us in Cyprus this December.
“This is the first time Classic has hosted its award ceremony overseas and we’ve selected a great venue in one of the UK market’s most popular holiday destinations.”
He added that the operator aimed to share its plans for 2023 at the event.
“As well it being a fun and engaging event, it will provide us with an opportunity to share our exciting plans for 2023, as well as a great opportunity for our agent partners and suppliers to get together to discuss future plans and share networking opportunities,” he said.
The trip will also give agents the chance to sample what Cyprus has on offer, from its hotels to its hospitality, Mediterranean cuisine and heritage, added Morris-Green.
