Luxury Get-Together

Come on in! The joint event with Maxx Royal Bodrum, Windrose Finest Travel, byDistinction, Mason Rose, Scorpios, and LuxuryWise brought life to the otherwise rather quiet Home of Luxury. Want to know who was there? Better ask who was let in... Here are the best snapshots of the event!

Welcome, everyone! LuxuryWise Editor-in-Chief Iris M. Köpke (left) is looking forward to welcoming guests with hosts Christian Böll (Windrose Finest Travel) and Geraldine Gomboshaw (Maxx Royal Bodrum & byDistinction).

It just wouldn't be a real luxury event without him: Jens Horbach, Sales District Manager at Derpart, in a charming chat with Nicole Frattarola (Reiseland).

A total of about 60 luxury tourism professionals came together at the Home of Luxury on Tuesday afternoon. As always in this closely knit community, the joy of seeing each other again was immense!

Sunshine times two: Dirk Gowin from Berlin-based Select Luxury Travel and Zeeba Akbari from AER Reisemanufaktur in Hamburg-Eppendorf look so happy!

The most beautiful splash of color at the event: Morana Menzel joined the agency byDistinction in January 2024 as Senior Sales Manager for the DACH market. At ITB, she is delighted with the great interest shown by sales in the new Maxx Royal Bodrum.

These two are always in a good mood: Gaute Imbusch of Rocco Forte (left) and Marcel Kern of Luxury Dreams.

We have a few questions... LuxuryWise's Melanie Haass in a lively conversation with Lukas Hofmeister, Regional Sales Manager Europe at the still young airline Beond.

Katrin Frank from Iberostar (center right in the picture), Sylvia Daniels (First Reisebüro in Heinsberg) and Niclas Fedeler (Hotel Tortue) meet for a chat.

Great to have you here! Iris M. Köpke and Geraldine Gomboshaw are delighted with even a short visit from Kevin Pabst and Uwe Benteler (on the left) from Reisebüro Stiefvater.

Dynamic duo with Windrose roots: Stephan Braun, now Managing Director at NTRV Group (left), and Oliver Odendahl, Senior Key Account Manager at Windrose Finest Travel.

We're just flies on the wall. What exciting things does Deniz Berk from Hanse Travel (right) have to say...?! Niclas Fedeler from the Hamburg boutique hotel Tortue knows more!

So, how is the show going for you so far? LuxuryWise's Cathrin Lührs (left) talks to Martina Hirschhuber from My Holiday in Tyrol and Tobias Pflantz from the Ikos/Sani Group.
