JANUARY EDITION – HAPPY NEW YEARS

By | January 1st, 2018

2017 has been a spectacular year for our IKON Team! Our highlights included the opportunity of presenting our company at the 40th Anniversary of the Lindbergh Foundation at the Explorers Club, in New York. The event was attended by our Co-Founder, Tony Bryant, Marketing & Clients Relations Manager, Maria Ferrera as well as our Africa Team Leader, Shaun Scrooby, and partnered by Air Shepherd – a significant anti-poaching unit in Africa. Aside from this, some of our clients had the opportunity to enjoy Tony´s expertise on a variety of wines through Southern Africa and Spain at the First Bite event in Naples, Florida.

And, to end off our 2017, Maria Ferrera was interviewed by Rita Sibaja, talk show host at WINK News. Maria gave an insiders scoop on IKON’s top destinations and some handy suggestions on traveling. (View video below).
From all of us at IKON, we would like to thank you, our loyal subscribers for the continued support. We hope that 2018 brings you a wealth of hope and happiness, and we look forward to curating your next journey through Africa and Spain.
