The Brendan Vacations sales team met in Ireland to refresh their connection with their Irish roots while reinforcing their product relationships and connections in Dublin. Brendan Vacations has a dedicated branch office in Dublin, and the meeting offered the perfect opportunity for the team to focus on sales and service tactics and techniques while also learning about new developments on the Emerald Isle with some signature touring. The Brendan team plans to return to the U.S. with increased knowledge and understanding, and refreshed ways to make their excellent service experience even better.

"We are very excited to be back in Ireland for our annual sales meeting," said Nico Zenner, president of Brendan Vacations. “We are deeply committed to this destination, our wide array of travel products, and our heritage in Ireland that dates back over 40 years. Whether it is a unique bed and breakfast, a magnificent manor or a luxury hotel, Brendan’s selection of accommodations is vast, as we just experienced during our meeting. Our sales managers are passionate about Ireland, we offer a high-quality product, and offer great service to all our guests. Brendan truly covers Ireland like no one else.”
