Affino CEO Markus receives Viking Clap at 2016 TTG Travel Awards

Last night’s annual TTG Travel Awards were attended by our CEO Markus Karlsson and CCO Jonathan Collins. Affino was there to hand out the award for Luxury Hotel & Resort Operator of the Year - which went to LUX* Resorts & Hotels. In the picture above are superb host for the proceedings John Bishop, TTG Editor Pippa Jacks, LUX* Account Manager Sarah McGlynn, and of course our illustrious leader Markus.

Through some happy serendipity the recipient was taking the air when she was due to be on stage, and when finding out that Markus was from Iceland, quick-witted John filled in the time by leading the audience in a Viking Clap to honour Iceland’s efforts at the recent Euro Football Championships.

Our Jonathan was on hand to catch this fateful moment, good karma all-round, as per the following video:
