On Tuesday 31st July, over 25 travel agents and in-house sales staff from Inghams, Iglu, Alpine Answers, Ski Solutions and Crystal Ski were lucky enough to be invited into the VIP area at Austria House Tirol for a special resort training session. The small group sessions with resort partners, Ischgl, Zillertal, Kitzbühler Alps, Innsbruck and Innsbruck airport delivered expert knowledge on selling ski for 2012-13 and highlighting what’s new for next season.
Austria House Tirol is the official national hospitality house for the duration of the Olympic Games. Lunch in the Court Room included Tirolean specialities such as Knodel (dumplings) and Kaiserschmarrn (sliced pancakes), followed by an Apres-ski quiz with bronze, silver and gold prizes awarded to the winners.
Throughout the Olympics the Tirolean Alpine Garden, which is open to the public (free entry) from 10am-10pm, serving food and drinks, with TV viewing screens to watch the Games and catch up with action. The photo chairlift (where you can get a photo taken with the mountainous backdrop), the yodelling telephone box (come and record your best yodel and win a holiday in Austria), and the ski-race podium stage (a Tirolean twist on the Victorian head-through-the-photo-board) will be constant features throughout.
The Apres-ski theme will continue next weekend as Ischgl, one of Tirol’s most famous resorts, hosts its own weekend on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th August. Billed as the big reunion weekend, it aims to attract people who have been to Ischgl before and to make an introduction to new friends. There will be prizes to be won as well as entertainment from Tirol-based a cappella group The Nicknames and a silent disco featuring three channels, music from ‘Top of the Mountain’ stars such as Katy Perry, Elton John, Kylie and The Killers, traditional Tirolean music and a channel for Apres-ski hits. Come down and join the party – for more information visit the Facebook event page here. This is a free and open public event.
