Irish Team in LA

Eleven tourism companies from Ireland joined Tourism Ireland in Los Angeles in California for “Connections Luxury Americas”.

This three-day event, involving a programme of bespoke one-to-one appointments and networking sessions, offers an excellent opportunity for the participating tourism businesses from Ireland to connect with over 100 influential luxury travel buyers from North America who bring valuable tourists to the island.

Alison Metcalfe, Tourism Ireland’s Head of North America, said: 

“Our presence at this year’s Connections Luxury Americas is a valuable opportunity for Tourism Ireland and our partners to connect and network with travel professionals who have the potential to bring high value tourists to the island.”
