Fifty travel representatives from Queensland gathered for lunch yesterday for ‘Christ-toberfest’ at Jephson Hotel Toowong’s Rooftop Bar.

The casual, fun-filled catch up gave the representatives a forum to discuss the travel industry in an informal environment with the aim to bring everyone together before the hectic ‘Earlybird Europe’ activity and social events prior to Christmas.

Mark Leonard from Cruise Whitsundays won the ‘Male Best Dressed’ award with Claire Turner from ‘Driveaway Holidays’ taking out ‘Female Best Dressed’ at the event.
