Irish Flavours in London

Tourism Ireland’s “Flavours of Ireland” event took place in London, connecting Irish tourism businesses with leading global inbound tour operators.

Now in its 22nd year, “Flavours” is an annual Tourism Ireland workshop, where 60 tourism companies from across Ireland met and did business with around 100 global inbound tour operators, who are mainly based in London and who deliver business from all over the world, including the United States, Mainland Europe, Asia, Australasia and Africa.

.The largest of the tour operators attending brings around 80,000 visitors to Ireland each year, and events like “Flavours” help them set itineraries, determining the regions and communities that they bring visitors to.

Alice Mansergh, chief executive of Tourism Ireland, said: “Tourism Ireland runs our Flavours of Ireland event to increase awareness of Ireland among influential global inbound tour operators and to secure a greater share of the global travel market.”
