San José, Costa Rica — Monday, October 21st, 2024
TAM Travel Corporation hosted its 60th Anniversary with a legendary celebration party, this past Sunday, October 13th, 2024. The event was held at the Costa Rica Country Club, metropolitan city San Jose’s most exclusive social club, in the privileged district of Escazu. Safe to say, it was a full house – coworkers, partners, suppliers, clients, friends & family – a touching reunion and lively celebration, all in honor of TAM’s six decades as Costa Rica’s top Travel Company.
The 60th Anniversary celebration started off with a fun and laid-back cocktail reception. Cold beverages, warm conversations and an overall ambience of leisurely Sunday joy filled the hearts of each and every guest. A professional Photographer immortalized the day with photoshoots reminiscent of a distinguished yet youthful high school prom. Old friends reunited shared nostalgic moments, while new friendships were in the making with every handshake. In with the old, and in with the new – fitting, since bridging the golden years of the past with the bright future yet to come, is what TAM Travel Corporation is all about!
A powerful concert was what came next, featuring Costa Rica’s very own ‘hard rock-meets-classical’ fusion pioneers, Barock. The raw sounds of Rock n Roll hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s, met with the sweet, sweet splendor of the most beloved Classical Music pieces. Sipping on chilled Champagne and snacking on freshly popped Pop Corn, the enchanted audience was transported to another dimension with the striking tunes and awesome lights. Barock stole the show with each and every consecutive electric guitar riff, drumbeat, and combination of the string duo’s heart-melting melodies.
A transition ever-so-smooth from melody to words occurred next, with the subtle commencement of the Award Ceremony. TAM President, Mauricio Arevalo, began with a touching speech for the dedication of the event, to the recently departed Don Guido Castro, one of the company founders. A combination of bittersweet memories and feelings overtook the crowd, then supplemented by some well-deserved recognitions. The Award Ceremony took a vibrant, fun turn, when Mauricio called onto stage and handed out individual awards, to the many partners, suppliers, and members of the ever-hardworking TAM team. A joyful time for awards recipients, and a proud day for TAM Travel Corporation!
A standing ovation overwhelmed by applause and cheers, then led the guests to their designated tables, for teatime. A top-tier DJ started playing music, glasses were filled with champagne, cups with coffee, and then delicious typical Costa Rican delicacies were served, including the ever-famous Tamal! Bellies full and spirits high, guests hit the dance floor before long, as the rhythm of tropical music filled the room, and dance conquered all.
It was an afternoon to remember, a day in which to rejoice, and a time to cherish. Happy 60th Anniversary, TAM Travel Corporation! Cheers!
