European Travel Commission's Bash at Brasserie

It was a great time last night at the European Travel Commission’s bash at Brasserie in NYC last night. The whole place was taken for the event and the food and cocktails plentiful and the crowd upbeat. Better yet was the chance to run into several reps from some of Europe’s hottest destinations. Harald Hansen from Innovation Norway was witty as ever and a wiz on the dance floor. The stunning Victoria Larson from the German National Tourist Office was at the door greeting guests. Joanna Allen from Visit Britain happily catching up with freinds. Nora Brossard from Spring O’Brien was busy chatting up guests on the crowded floor. Some I missed like Nena Komaric from the Croatian National Tourist Board.

I had a chance to catch up with one of my favorite writers, David Farley just back from a long stay in a small village in Italy. David is a wiz with witty ideas for stories and follows through with great writing. Is it any wonder that Europe broke the record for US visitors for the second time in six years? Not with these talented reps pushing their countries charms.
