Cindy Brewster, Director of international Sales, Kimpton Hotels, USA:
“Karin’s broad knowledge of the travel industry, contacts with key decision-makers, and her professional leadership in tailoring the features of whom Atlantic Link represents to the outbound corporate and leisure travel companies that best fit the audience profile, have collectively contributed to an increased market share of up to 36% annually—exceeding our expectations on a regular, annual basis. The long-standing and excellent reputation held by Atlantic Link in the market, and her forward-thinking ideas made the decision to retain Karin and her team to represent Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants an easy one, and one that I am confident will result in a long-term collaboration.”

Peter C. Chambliss, Ass. Director for Sales and Marketing, Maryland Office of Tourism Development, USA:
“While working with Karin in both of her capacities, she has shown her extensive knowledge of the travel trade industry members and media within the Nordic Countries and used those contacts to further the position and awareness of the Capital Region to develop more tourism to our region.  She develops an excellent marketing plan and budget with realistic expectations. Her attention to detail virtually insures that the project will achieve its goals, FAM tours will have the proper participants, and the suppliers will know what is expected of them so that you (her client) are seen in the best possible professional way possible. And communication throughout the entire run of the project keeps all parties concerned informed. In our time working with Atlantic Link we saw an increase in Capital Region product in tour operator catalogs and websites, an increase cooperative marketing programs and ultimately an increase in visitation. Again, Atlantic Link comes with the highest recommendation from the Capital Region USA.”

Jukka Näräkkä, former VP Sales & FTB Managing Director, Finnair:“The product knowledge, both destination and facility is essential in travel sales and in this context Atlantic Link is excellent. Atlantic Link has a good network in the Nordic countries, Baltic and Russia and is able to promote the clients products effectively in the area. I have been very impressed about the energy and activity level that Atlantic Link has had over the years. Working together with the travel industry, press and corporate community has provided visibility and results for the clients.”
