Please describe a past program that you feel typifies the business opportunity you represent for our partners:

Other than the Covid years, World Wings has hosted 52 consecutive annual conventions and about as many smaller spring board meetings. Our conventions have seen as many as 900+ attend, but the norm is about 300 – 400, with less for cruises. Land conventions typically have 3 peak nights, with many booked nights on the shoulders. We’ve hosted conventions all over the world – LON, BKG, TYO, SFO, SEA, NYC, ATL, MIA, AMS, STO, OSL, PAR, HOU, SAN, SAV, BOS, BER, YQB, BRU, DC, DEN, HNL, etc. Cruises have included various lines in the past such as NCL, Princess, and RCL. We’re now using Celebrity, and have booked 3 cruises with them, including the cancelled AK one due to Covid. Hotels – we’ve used IHG, Westin, Marriott, Omni, Sheraton, Hilton & Ritz plus other hotels.

Please share with us an opportunity you are currently working on:

Contracts are already in place for 2022 pre-cruise BOS and our 2023 Scottsdale convention and venues. Convention chairs will be heading to LON later this spring to look at hotels for 2024. I negotiate and sign all contracts, and when possible, also do the sourcing.

In what locales have you found the greatest program successes?

We’ve had great success almost everywhere we’ve held a convention. The location and hotel brand change every year. We do seek out Marriott properties and any IHG properties but will work with any quality brand considering the amalgamation of once stand-alone brands. Pan Am started and owned InterContinental Hotels and we’re partial to them since we stayed in them all over the world, but they don’t always fit our budget since attendees are self-pay. We’re a philanthropic, all-volunteer association group of former Pan Am flight attendants who flew when flying was glamorous and service was impeccable.

Typical duration of meeting or incentive program. (number of nights):
Level of luxury you expect for your most important programs: Mid-level Luxury: ($250-$350 per night)

If money were no object, I would: travel at least once per month to my favorite places as well as to destinations I’ve yet to visit.
Something that would surprise you about me: I’ve been to 135 countries
