The chief executive of Island-based Online Regional Travel Group is to be guest speaker at a specialist travel industry conference in London tomorrow (Thursday).

Brian Kelly's been invited to take part in a debate at the Travel Directors Summit at the Emirates Stadium in London.

The event's been organised by UK travel industry accountants Elman Wall.

Mr Kelly is described as among a select group in the British Isles to have set up distinct business and leisure travel brands.

His firm handles business travel from Mann Link Travel on Athol Street in Douglas, while leisure customers are served at branches in Parliament Street, Ramsey and via Richmond Travel in Duke Street, Douglas.

He'll speak on the theme of what business and leisure travel can learn from each other - in terms of knowledge required and sales technique.
