Coverage of our first annual members’ conference

GHO hosted its first annual members’ conference in Estoril, Portugal, at the newly restored Hotel Palacio.

The key areas at the conference, which took place in September 2007, were trends in the industry, electronic distribution, sales and marketing. From both GHO experts and outside speakers, members learned how to increase their customers’ knowledge of their brand and how to double their net bookings in a year. GHO also presented future plans and developments, inviting members to discuss opportunities and other issues. Dunja Kirchner, L'Abbaye de Talloires in France, said: “In exchanging experiences between the GHO and the members we can make this brand a powerful selling organisation for the benefit of us all.”

The conference, lasting three days, brought together the GHO team, industry experts and members for lively discussions in the day programme and social events and networking in the evenings.

Albane Mahaut, Director of Account Management said: "I was delighted with how well this first annual members' conference was received. We shared a stimulating and original debate in a professional and relaxed atmosphere. I am looking forward to another great conference in September this year!"

This year’s annual members’ conference will take place from the 12th to the 14th of September in the Plaza Resort Hotel in Greece. For more information and application forms to attend, please contact:
