EIBTM is a major international conference and incentive exhibition that akes place in December – currently in Barcelona – and this issue
(Volume 9) is previewing the event.

In addition, we have an interview with Andrew Ashmore, VP of Sales and marketing in Europe, Africa and the Middle East for Hyatt Hotels.
Our regular features include New Developments and the Gizmo Guide.

Our competition in this issue is a joint project courtesy of the Tenerife convention Bureau and the Hotel Jardin Tropical. Details of how to enter
are provided below.

In addition to this competition, Executive Venturer has reviewed a small pocket loudspeaker on pages 72 and 73 in the Gizmo Guide and for the
first 50 readers is making a special offer to purchase this amazing product.

Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!
