DATELINE MONDAY 20TH MAY 2019 IMEX WEEK

Happy May Monday morning I hope you are well and that you had a great weekend, I am sure the Manchester City fans had an amazing weekend. Oh talking of weekends, where did the weekend go? One minute it is Friday afternoon the next it is Monday morning. You won't have to worry about that next weekend as it will be the late May bank holiday, we have Monday 27th May off.

This week will fly as it's IMEX week and I will be in Frankfurt attending the IMEX show, hopefully we will see each other. These shows are quite weird, you tend to see some people all the time in the corridors or at various DMC stands or you don't manage to catch up at all with some clients and friends. If you are going to IMEX, I wish safe travels there and a successful time in Frankfurt.

Egypt, oh dear another tragedy, another bombing, more people injured. What will the terrorists achieve? Nothing except that President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi will crack down even harder on dissidents in this amazing country.

I have a confession to make to you, I watched Eurovision, yes the complete program. The main reason was because Tel Aviv was the location. Tel Aviv, indeed Israel did an amazing job of staging a safe and secure world class entertainment program as well as an outstanding job of show casing the destination. We at MM and Company are getting quite a few incentive agency clients taking a second look at Israel as an incentive destination.
