We all have a moment in our lives that was so “abso-f#ck#ng-lutely” incredible it needed to be captured with a picture, which would later become a show and tell item at every family gathering.
For MTA-Mobile Travel Agents’ Co-Founder and Managing Director, Karen Merricks, that’s when she met Sarah Jessica Parker!
That’s right, the boss of home-based travel went toe-to-toe with the queen of fashion.
The rare encounter between the two ‘sole’ mates occured at Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas earlier this year, while the pair were out feeding their ‘SOD’ (shoe obsessive disorder) at the Sex and the City actress’ high-profile ‘SJP’ shoe shop.
What a moment!
Karen wasn’t the only one at MTA out and about making life long memories this year, Mobile Travel Agent Patrick O’ Shea was seen raising funds for the ‘Save Our Sons Duchenne Foundation’, which provides support to families affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
Patrick is also using his trek up Mount Everest base camp in Nepal to raise awareness for the foundation and the illness.
Then there was a group of MTA Agents who enjoyed an epicurean treat at Perth’s landmark Balthazar restaurant for making high sales. The gathering also gave the Members the opportunity to meet with Clare Kearns and Georgia Traill, the two MTA business development managers now responsible for the company’s Western Australia activity.
From classy dinners to golf – MTA’ head office marketing and product team tested out Top Golf Gold Coast, the Gold Coast’s latest big tourist attraction last month.
The Gold Coast Top Golf is one of 33 similar venues around the world which, combined, attract more than 10. 5 million people every year.
Looking glam! The MTA team dress up last month for Luxperience in Sydney where they chatted to a range of experiential travel suppliers.
And finally, MTA’s ‘Captain’ Remus Gheorghiu and his head office ‘crew’ were seen getting into the swing for the Cruise Lines International Association – Australasia #ChooseCruise month.
As part of their involvement, MTA’s cruise division has joined with CLIA and cruise partners to provide MTA Members with a raft of cruise specials to offer their clients.
