A boat, a boogie, the Bosphorus and Bloomfield all came together a year ago.
I was reminded of that outing on the Bosphorus with Turkish Airlines www.turkishairlines.com, www.visitistanbul.com and a group of Irish Travel’s finest.
Our host ramped up ABBA on the sound system and the strains of Dancing Queen carried all the way from Europe to Asia.
It makes you wonder how often Dancing Queen gets played around the world in the way a Beatles song is (every 30 seconds).
But I’d say it’s a lot… and even more in Eurovision Weekend https://eurovision.tv.
The Biz
All of which brings me to my good friends at Travel Biz www.travelbiz.ie.
The Biz kicked it all off with a Zoom Trade danceathon on Friday.
Before they handed it all over to Graham Norton.
And, of course, Graham did his usual sterling job as the BBC presenter with the link to the Netherlands https://www.holland.com/global/tourism.htm www.iamsterdam.com.
It’s a country I love Pictures of Amsterdam and where the Contest would have been held.
The only thing missing on a digital night of celebration of all things Eurovision was the scoring.
And to cap it all off Bjorn shared the love in a live link.
If only he had seen Ian Bloomfield of Irish Travel Trade News www.ittn.ie strut his stuff!
And, of course, your favourite Bandanaman doing his Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy (A Man After Mudnight).
