Dear Ernest,

Yes, still alive! 😉 Just slowly returning to normal life after these very intense days.

And yes – I am truly very happy that you came. I already wrote this to you, but I am happy to repeat it: your presence and your presentation were very valuable to the Forum.

I heard many very positive comments about your presentation – about your knowledge, experience, charisma and the way you communicated with the audience. And I meant every word of what I wrote to you before. Your contribution brought both professional substance and personality to the event.

For me, it was also very important to have people at the Forum who not only know religious tourism theoretically, but understand how it works in practice – how destinations and tour operators think and what travellers actually need. That perspective was very important.

So yes, Ernest – I am very happy that you came, and very grateful that you gave us your time and shared your experience with us.

I was also sorry that, because of the work waiting for you, you had to miss our FAM tour. It was a really nice day, and I think you would have enjoyed it. But at least you can get a little glimpse of it through the photos and videos we are sharing on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

And now I hope you can finally enjoy being “home sweet home” and get some rest. 😊

Thank you once again, Ernest. I really hope this was only the beginning of our cooperation and that we will have many more opportunities to meet and work together.

Warm regards,
