A Danish airline swapped Nyhavn for Douglas promenade, bringing 100 staff to the island for a whirlwind 24-hour Christmas celebration and corporate showcase.
The team from AirSeven arrived at Ronaldsway on direct flight from Roskilde Airport one of the airline’s own Boeing 737 aircraft to experience the best of Manx hospitality.
The visit, coordinated by Isle of Man DMC (a division of Duke Travel), was designed to prove that the island is a premier destination for international corporate incentives and events.
Mange et Koldt Vin!
Upon arrival, the Danish visitors were whisked away for a guided sightseeing tour of the island’s most iconic sites and landscapes.
The group enjoyed a taste of local life with a pit-stop at The Creek in Peel for a quick drink by the harbour, before travelling up to the Victory Café. There, overlooking the world-famous TT Mountain Course, the staff enjoyed a lunch of pie and mash while conducting their annual company presentation.
The festivities continued into the afternoon after checking in to the Comis Hotel, where the group enjoyed some relaxation time at the hotel’s spa.
The entire team then enjoyed an exclusive Christmas party at the Royal Hall in the Villa Marina.
Success!
Richard Howarth, General Manager of Duke Travel and Isle of Man DMC, commented on the success of the operation: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank AirSeven for choosing Isle of Man DMC to help organise this trip for them.
“Also, a big thank you to our travel team and the local business partners for making this trip such a success.
“Showing off our beautiful island is what we love to do. Hosting 100 staff over 24 hours demonstrates the island’s capability for corporate groups and bespoke programmes, and we are proud to have coordinated a smooth visit for an international organisation of this size.”
The logistics of moving 100 people across the island in 24 hours required a seamless effort from local suppliers.
Isle of Man DMC extended their thanks to partners including Bus Vannin and Opul for transport logistics, as well as local tour guides and venue staff who showcased the Island’s warm welcome to the international guests.
