The theme of the conference, which take place from 29 September to 1 October, is Beyond the Boundaries, and will focus on increasing sales.

The event will be held at the city’s Assembly Buildings, with Virgin Voyages as headline sponsor. Destination host Tourism Ireland will also sponsor the event.

The conference reception will be held at the Game of Thrones studio tour, and the gala dinner at Belfast City Hall.

Tricia Handley-Hughes, UK director at InteleTravel, said: “Having emerged from the pandemic, we have all learned so much and will use this knowledge to fine-tune the education and training for agents. 

“We now have 10 ambassador agents who help and support the agent community, themselves having climbed the learning curve and can relate to the challenges faced by agents new to the sector.”

Virgin Voyages vice-president for international sales, Shane Riley, added the company was “delighted” to be attending the agency’s conference once again, this time as the headline sponsor.

“InteleTravel has continued to provide exceptional support, and we’ve seen very strong booking numbers over the past 12 months,” he said.

“Our headline sponsorship is a small way of thanking InteleTravel for their support over the past 12 months and demonstrating a firm commitment to our partnership.”
