Off to Alabama
Tourism Ireland’s drive to grow golf visitor numbers from North America continued at the IAGTO North American Convention in Alabama.
Twelve golf and tourism operators from Ireland joined Tourism Ireland at the convention – which was attended by influential golf and travel professionals from around the world. The event involved two days of one-to-one, pre-scheduled appointments and networking sessions.
Aisling McDermott, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Global Partnerships, said:
“Golf is the world’s largest sports-related travel market, and Tourism Ireland is working hard to drive home the message that a golfing holiday in Ireland is about much more than a round of 18 holes – the combination of our world-class golf and our unique brand of hospitality plays a key role in attracting golfers from around the world.”
Tourism Ireland has also participated in other IAGTO conventions this year – including the Asian Convention in Da Nang, Vietnam, in April, and the European Convention in Gran Canaria in May.
