Another SOIT member meeting this year was held on 28 April in Villa Foksal. The aim of the meeting was to discuss and create the Ethics Committee Regulations – the arbitrary-consulting body of the Association. The role of the Ethics Committee is to safeguard the values of SOIT, the good working practices of members of the Association, and good practices on the incentive travel organisation market.

A representative of the Office of Pałucki Trusiński oversaw the work on the Regulations.

In the second half of the meeting we combined business with pleasure. Agata Pater and Katarzyna Czajka, representatives of Emirates Airlines, talked about new products offered by the Emirates group, and the extraordinary expansion plans of Dubai, thanks to which Dubai, as a destination for MICE, may still surprise us.

SOIT members support the Foundation St. John of Jerusalem in the Great Art for Small People, or Traveling through Art programme. The aim of this project is to organise for the children and adolescents, the foundation’s beneficiaries, a year-round series of meetings inviting openness to the world, travel, and artistic activities.

The essence of the program are educational and artistic activities involving the exploration of certain cultural and geographical circles based on traditional art and culture of these places, and expressing it through individual artistic form. Children and adolescents participating in the programme take part in a cultural trip to faraway places: Africa, Australia, North America, South America, Asia and some parts of Europe.

The first meeting was held on 6 April. Katarzyna Szełemej-Pobożniak from HAXEL Events & Incentive agency told the participants stories about everyday life and culture of the Andean Indians in Ecuador. The children had the opportunity to see unique photos from an Indian village and listen to amazing stories based on the traveller’s own experiences.
