Luxury Visit
Eight luxury travel advisors from the United States have been visiting Ireland as guests of Tourism Ireland, Tourism NI and Fáilte Ireland. Their programme was designed in partnership with Ireland Chauffeur Travel.
Alison Metcalfe, Tourism Ireland’s Head of North America, said:
“Seeing is believing, and our aim is that when they return home, they will be even more enthusiastic about the destination.”
During their time here, the US buyers carried out site inspections at some luxury hotels, including the Culloden Estate & Spa, Lough Eske Castle, Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate, Dromoland Castle, Adare Manor, Cashel Palace Hotel and The Merrion Hotel.
Their itinerary also included a Belfast food tour with Taste & Tour, Titanic Belfast, a sheepdog demonstration at Glenshane Country Farm, a “paint and graze” experience at Ballyness Resort and Hanna Hats of Donegal. They enjoyed an Overland Experience with Orangeworks, which included an oyster shucking and seaweed foraging demonstration with the Burren Smokehouse, as well as a private island experience with Sionnan Luxury Cruises, falconry at Adare Manor, Coolmore Stud, as well as some retail therapy at Kildare Village.
