This year, Tourism Ireland’s aim is to increase the value of overseas tourism to Ireland, sustainably supporting economies, communities and the environment. The organisation will do so by inspiring overseas visitors and strengthening strategic partnerships. Tourism Ireland’s message in Britain, and elsewhere around the world, is that Ireland has so much to offer across regions and seasons. The organisation will showcase iconic reasons to travel here, expanding people’s bucket lists from best-known spots to our hidden gems.
Julie Wakley, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Great Britain, said: “We’re really pleased that so many of our tourism partners from Ireland have joined us in Glasgow this week, highlighting our tourism offering to the influential tour operators and travel agents in attendance. This workshop is a really good opportunity to remind these tour operators and travel agents why Ireland is the ideal choice for their clients for a short break or holiday in 2024.”
