Inside the \u2018Monaco for You\u2019 Travel Industry Soiree<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VenuIQ was appointed the app\/registration\/check-in partner for Visit Monaco<\/a>‘s agency, Development Counsellors International <\/a>(DCI) for their VIP in-person industry event to promote Monaco tourism. On 28 April 2022, more than 50 travel professionals gathered for the event at\u00a0The Standard, High Line<\/a>\u00a0in New York City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit Monaco wanted to have more metrics and reporting than they had available to them in previous events. They also required an all-in-one central hub for their events to encourage travel advisors to recommend Monaco as a destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DCI and Visit Monaco were delighted with the results; a 50% engagement rate with all partners receiving requests for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’d like to thank you for the diligence and consistent work you put in in the last month to bring to life our Visit Monaco app. Head office was thrilled with the app and its functionality, as well as our hotel partners and guest. We look forward to continuing working with you, and that this is the first of many collaborations.” <\/p>Vanessa Gonzales-Hernandez, Travel Marketing Manager, DCI<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The event started with check-in\u00a0powered by VenuIQ,\u00a0leading to a pre-panel glass of champagne and light networking in the High Line Room, which set the mood for guests to learn about the trends currently shaping the present and future of the luxury segment. “The Revenge Travel Among the Luxury Segment” panel was moderated by Amalia Meliti (Development Counsellors International\u00a0\u2013 Travel Trade Marketing Managing Director), and featured Albert Herrera (Internova Group\u00a0\u2013 EVP, Partner Relations), Matt Stevens (Travala\/Concierge.io\u00a0\u2013 CFO), Darren Scott (United Airlines\u00a0\u2013 Director Atlantic\/Hawaii Network Planning), and Laura Dannen Redman (AFAR\u00a0\u2013 Digital Content Director). These thought leaders of the tourism industry shared their points of view and key insights about new air route developments, the future of luxury tourism, how to tap into the luxury market and the mysticism behind cryptocurrency and NFTs in the tourism space. Q&A was handled both via crowd microphones and through\u00a0VenuIQ<\/a>\u2019s Visit Monaco mobile app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event continued with a rooftop reception at the Top of the Standard, a glamorous evening of cocktails and conversation with\u00a0Visit Monaco<\/a>\u2019s delegation, composed by\u00a0Guy Antognelli (Director of Tourism), Sandrine Camia (Deputy Director) and Laurence Aquilina (Head of Leisure Tourism),\u00a0who were joined by the General Managers and Sales Directors of the leading hotels of the Principality. During the event, trade professionals learned how Monaco positioned their destination as a premier experience destination and enjoyed culinary tastings and a live jazz band (Acute Inflections<\/a>) performance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To end the evening, there was an exclusive prize giveaway thanks to our generous partners from United Airlines, MonacAir, Hotel De Paris, M\u00e9tropole Monte-Carlo, Fairmont Monte-Carlo, Le Meridien Beach Plaza, and Columbus Monte-Carlo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the in-person portion, the event continued on\u00a0VenuIQ<\/a>\u2019s Visit Monaco mobile app, where the email and push notification features let attendees know they could access the post-event writeup, photo, and video content and continue networking with each other and the partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
