At the recent Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) annual convention, there was a wide range of educational content available. Several sessions focused on the subject of Strategic Meeting Management (SMM), a very apt topic for the world's largest meeting on business travel management.

Having you arrange a private guide was the best thing 
we could have done.

The private guide (l) enthralled Rita (c) and friend (r) as they enjoyed an exclusive private visit to Catherine Palace.
"Thank you for all your help making our cruise possible. We had a wonderful time with our friends.

Our tour guide in St. Petersburg was outstanding. She got us in ahead of lines. We got to the Catherine Palace first thing in the morning and viewed the rooms without other tourists. Standing in the Amber Room by ourselves is a special memory. Our return from the Peterhoff was aboard a diplomatic Hydrofoil - first class and we were the only passengers. 

Having you arrange a private guide was the best thing we could have done. Others hired guides by using the Internet, but I do not think they had the marvelous experience we had."
