This week's MAC Chat features an interview with Dana McPherson, Senior VP of Platinum Seminars.  Platinum Seminars, Destination Europe and MailPound are hosting a Iceland Odyssey on March 11-14, 2010. Agents interested in more information on joining us can click here.

During the Golden Circle Tour, agents will experience first hand Iceland's majestic scenery. Which of the natural wonders, is your personal favorite? 
Well, actually I have two. The Strokkur geyser and the dual-folding Gullfoss.

What would you say is Iceland's greatest selling feature? 
Everyone wants to go there. It is exotic, enchanting and the people are warm and friendly.

What should agents expect to take away from the Icelandic Odyssey? 
A deeper understanding and appreciation of the country. It is a great stopping point for clients flying to Europe. Fly to Iceland, spend a few days and then continue to Europe. Icelandair offers a free stop over on some flights.

I've never been to an 'Ice Bar'. Can you describe what agents should expect? 
Well first, it is cold, really cold. I have been to several and all are unique. No worries about your martini getting room temperature. They do provide parkas which do help.

The Blue Lagoon is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. Should agents attending bring their bathing suits?? 
I would highly recommend it. There is also a world class spa that they may partake of. The Blue Lagoon is something that everyone must experience at once in your life or if you are Platinum Seminars, many times. Keeps you looking youthful. The water is like a natural Jacuzzi and the mud that you must apply to your body is completely white. Sort of like a do it yourself body facial.


Thank you Dana for that great interview!
