NI Travel News Suppliers Selection Series: Don Clarke

Travel Solutions Don Clarke breaks down the local trade in our profile series

Which member of the NI Travel Trade ….

Would you like to be sitting beside on a trans-atlantic flight? Terence and Damian Murphy – Terra Travel, anytime I see them heading to the states they seem to get upgraded so what better agents to travel with, upgraded free drink win win

 

When you need some agency info, who has the most knowledge on industry issues that you would call first? There would be a few agents I would seek advice from but Heather Fielding with her ABTA background

 

Is your favorite drink buddy? My favourite drink buddy would be Papa Smurf – AKA Robert Wilson, the only person I know who can make kids cry on a flight by drinking the plane dry of black currant fruitshoots

 

Is the one to help you to bed? Very simple …. Julie Magill – when she goes there is a reason it’s called “Bar Closed” so it’s bed time

 

Could you not leave your phone unlocked around? Hands down two people Philip Moore (Travelmore) & William Elliott (Elite Travel) for reasons that they would log into your social media pages and we all know how that can go. Although I have been guilty in Romania gaining access to someone’s phone but that’s a story for another day.

 

Who would you call in an emergency? Travel emergency? Heather Fielding because of her ABTA knowledge

 

Who would you have on your Pub Quiz Team? All the staff at Limavady Travel, the fun and laughter at that table it wouldn’t matter if we won the craic would be the overall winner. 

 

Makes the best cup of tea/coffee when you visit? Ohhhhh now there are few here so sorry they all need a mention Erne Travel, Mango Travels, Limavady Travel and for buying me coffee that goes to Travelmore (my turn next time)

 

And …. Who would you like to be stuck on a desert island with, the most resourceful and has hidden skills? This is a tough one because I could take a few but it would have to be DJ Robbo – the Pigeon Club Number 1 DJ (dukebox king). His talents don’t stop there singing and story telling………but hopefully we wouldn’t be stranded for longer than 1 night. We could end up like that TV program “Death on Paradise“ Yes Robert Wilson you!
