Thank you and Happy Travel Agent Day from Royal Irish Tours
To celebrate Travel Agent Day, the Royal Irish Tours (RIT) team have made a quirky ‘thank you’ video for travel advisors, which includes a hurling stick (Gaelic sport), some good catching skills, and you guessed it, a few Irish beers! The video was made to thank their travel agent friends across Canada for all they do for their clients, and for their continued support of RIT over the years.
The video begins with Jonathan Sargeant, RIT’s Sales Manager thanking agents (from his kitchen bar!) before saying ‘cheers’ and throwing a can of Guinness out of shot which is caught by one his colleagues at home in their own living room!
The thank you’s continue and the video ends with a nice message from Ian Duffy, Founder and President of RIT at his home Irish bar!
***DISCLAIMER: A few cans of Guinness may have been harmed in the making of this video***
