~ Promoting Ireland to influential North American travel professionals ~
Eleven (11) tourism companies from Ireland have joined Tourism Ireland in Los Angeles in California this week 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 – ensuring Ireland is ‘top of mind’ when recommending destinations to their clients. Around 240 commercial meetings are expected to take place over the three days.
Alison Metcalfe, Tourism Ireland’s Head of North America, said: “Our presence at this year’s Connections Luxury Americas in Los Angeles is another excellent platform to inspire influential North American luxury travel professionals about Ireland. It’s 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, helping to secure a greater share of their business for Ireland in 2025 and beyond.”
