2Week Tour
Ankur Sharma
Netherlands - Belgium
June 14 – 25, 2010

Mr. Ankur Sharma, Sr. Sales Manager, visited Netherlands and Belgium between 14^th – 25^th June to actively seek out current and prospective customers with an objective to create long lasting and profitable business relationships.

Travel Notes
Being his second visit to Netherlands, Ankur was familiar to the place. In a short span of 5 days, he travelled extensively in Netherlands covering Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Dordrecht and Den Haag with the sole purpose of making valuable and lasting connections with the Dutch companies. He observed that the FIFA World cup fever was in full swing and had gripped the nation. This time, the enthusiasm of the soccer aficionados heightened as compared to previous years because Netherlands and Belgium partnered to bid for organizing the world cup 2018. In spite of all this, he was thrilled to receive an overwhelming response from the Dutch yet again.

Ankur had a lot to experience during his sojourn in Belgium. From being the notoriously addictive chocolate capital of the world, the cockpit of Europe to being the de facto capital of the European Union- Belgium is a land of contrasts and contradictions. One interesting thing that Ankur observed was that the street names and traffic signals were both in Dutch and French as Belgium flaunts of 2 national languages. This amazing blend of liveliness and international flair provides a perfect platform for discussing business.  At the end of his trip, Ankur added a project on iPhone development to his kitty.
