Fair Ways in Lisbon
Tourism Ireland’s drive to grow golf visitor numbers from around the world continues this week at the International Golf Travel Market (IGTM) in Lisbon.
Eighteen golf and tourism operators from Ireland have joined Tourism Ireland at this important event for the global golf travel community, which brings together more than 1,300 golf travel professionals from around the world.
The companies from Ireland are engaging in four days of one-to-one, pre-scheduled appointments as well as networking sessions, when they will negotiate and exchange vital contracts for 2025. Around 900 commercial meetings will be conducted on the Ireland stand this week.
Aisling McDermott, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Global Partnerships, said: “Our message is that Ireland offers international golfers the complete package with some of the very best golf in the world, spectacular scenery and the warmest of welcomes.”
