Over 100 tourism businesses from Clare and Limerick attended a special Fáilte Ireland Industry Networking Event in Dromoland Castle Hotel & Country Estate, Co Clare. The event was organised by Fáilte Ireland to build collaboration between tourism businesses from both counties, encouraging them to work together to attract more visitors and encourage them to stay longer and spend more.

Face-to-face networking sessions were facilitated among the tourism businesses to provide them with the opportunity to forge new connections and renew old ones. Fáilte Ireland’s Margaret Jenkins provided the businesses with an update on upcoming local Fáilte Ireland initiatives along with outlining the benefits of cross-collaboration and promotion for the region.  As well as the networking at this event, there was a unique opportunity to get some excellent learnings and insights into Artificial Intelligence (AI) with a talk from expert guest speaker Dr. Eoghan Staunton from Krisolis.

Both Clare and Limerick are popular tourist destinations with a thriving, well-organised industries that appeal to both domestic and foreign tourists. By bringing tourism businesses from each county together for this important workshop, we can help to strengthen connections.
