Newmarket Holidays, joined by Elvis Presley and Santa Claus, visited Hays Travel's HQ in Sunderland for a takeover training day
The operator's account and partnership managers kicked off the day with an Elvis impersonator performing the King's greatest hits in celebration of Newmarket Holidays' stateside itineraries before Santa celebrated the Lapland and festive programmes with bundles of presents for the 350-strong Hays Travel team.
An Indian lunch highlighted the operator's group tours of the subcontinent just before the day wrapped up with Italy-inspired activities and prize giveaways.
CCO David Sharman said, "We can’t thank Hays Travel enough for opening their doors and welcoming us today. It is a big commitment to facilitate a day of training across their business and we are so grateful for the opportunity.
"Travel is all about people, and people buy from people, and this was a unique opportunity to cement that relationship between our companies. The mix of fun, celebration and training was in keeping with how we both like to conduct business and made the day a huge success."
