Ellen Paderson, Smiles & Miles Travel CEO and Destination Mitzvah expert, visited the island of Madeira, Portugal in mid-November 2022, to attend the prestigious European Travel Agent Forum.
Ellen’s highlights of the forum, the island and the future of travel to Madeira:
I loved Madeira! I was so impressed by the quality of accommodation and cuisine – and there was so much to see and do! Mountain biking, water sports, a catamaran cruise, outdoor dining, performances by local dancers, and more.
In addition to the excellent presentations at the European Travel Forum, our agent group got a thorough look at the island from land and sea – quite an adventure! I will not only be returning to Madeira, but plan to organize a group adventure on the island in 2024. I’ll be sharing more information on this soon!
Meanwhile, if you’re craving a European excursion this spring, I still have a few cabins remaining on our exclusive Tulip Serenade River Cruise through Holland and Belgium, April 20-27, 2023. Join us!
