Overseas conferences cancelled
Two overseas travel industry conferences have been cancelled in light of Thomas Cook’s collapse.
Midcounties has cancelled its annual retail managers conference which was due to take place in Lagos, Portugal, on October 10-14.
Hays Travel Independence Group has called off its autumn conference which was meant to take place at the Rixos Sungate Resort in Turkey on October 16-19.
Both said members were too busy dealing with customers who have been impacted by Thomas Cook’s demise but said the events would be rescheduled for later dates.
