The Northern Ireland Travel News Team were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ken Smyth, a renowned figure within the travel industry across Ireland.
With a vast-spanning career, many would recognise Ken Smyth through his position managing the Sunbound Belfast Office located on Castle Street, alongside his roles in Chieftain Tours, Aer Lingus Holidays, John Hill Travel, Budget Car Rental, and Classic Sports Travel.
An avid fan of rugby and golf, Smyth was well-known amongst golf societies throughout the travel industry. Working closely with Aiken Promotions throughout his career, many will fondly remember Smyth rubbing shoulders with the stars, including Dolly Parton.
Our thoughts are with Ken’s family, friends, and wider circle at this sad time.
A funeral will take place for Ken on Tuesday 13th January. Service will take place at All Saints Eglantine, Lisburn at 12:30pm, followed by private cremation.
‘Ken will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his sorrowing brother, family and circle of friends.’
