French Buyers Visit Ireland
A group of French business travel professionals, all specialists in organising meetings, incentive travel programmes and product launches, has been visiting Ireland as guests of Tourism Ireland, Fáilte Ireland and destination management company Irish Horizons.
The aim of the visit was to showcase Ireland to the influential French travel buyers, to inspire them to choose the island of Ireland for future meetings and incentive travel and to grow business events from France. Their itinerary included a visit to the Cliffs of Moher with a special bagpiper welcome, an Irish dancing workshop on Inis Oírr, a Galway food tour, a Gaelic Games experience, as well as outdoor activities at Glasson Lakehouse.
Siobhan McManamy, Tourism Ireland’s Director of Markets, said: “Seeing is definitely believing, and this visit was a valuable opportunity to highlight Ireland as a premier destination for business events.”
