GENTLE GIANTS AT MANNAMÓT - WHERE PEOPLE GATHER
Yesterday was a very social day for Gentle Giants when we attended the natural Icelandic tourism workshop Mannamót. The name means "people coming together" and suits well for this event where around 200 tourism companies from all over Iceland gather to present their businesses, side by side, in an airplane hangar in Reykjavík.
For five intense hours we met a steady flow of people from other tour operators, travel agencies, information centres, employees at hotels and guesthouses as well as tourism students, to mention a few.
This is an annual event hosted by six marketing offices around the country. No meetings are booked but visitors can stroll around the hall, explore, experience, talk, laugh and taste.
It was a very nice day with good atmosphere and a perfect opportunity for us to keep up old contacts and create new ones.
A steady stream of people visited our booth in the airplane hangar. Gentle Giants was one out of ca. 200 participating tourism companies from all over Iceland.
The dream team of Alexia Annisius Askelöf and Daniel Annisius represented Gentle Giants Whale Watching at the Icelandic tourism workshop Mannamót this year.
