Tourism Ireland is excited to welcome you to a LIVE two day virtual event beginning today featuring Ireland’s top industry partners, educational sessions and marketing tips and tools to grow your business to Ireland.

The expo is part of the tourism board's plan of a recovery strategy to re-start Irish tourism from North America. TravelPulse Canada spoke to Alison Metcalfe, Executive Vice President North America & Australia in September after the appointment announcement of Dana Welch to their US office and Sandra Moffatt to the position of Marketing Manager, Canada.

The virtual show will feature 40 operators from all over Ireland and Northern Ireland. Advisors can set up one-on-one meetings in advance, conduct live video chats, download brochures, mingle with friends in the networking lounge, and just about everything else they can do during a “live” show.

“There’s a huge, pent-up demand for Ireland,” said Alison Metcalfe, Exec VP for Tourism Ireland. “Some of the things people are looking for in terms of how they want to travel going forward are looking to embrace the great outdoors, open spaces, breathe fresh air, soft adventure, enjoy our great landscapes and heritage. Ireland offers all of that and it’s actually very easy to social distance in Ireland, as it’s all about the outdoors and getting off the beaten track.”

Among those taking part are accommodations, DNC’s and attractions/experiences in Ireland.

They’ll also have live entertainment, a celebrity chef providing a cooking demonstration, a Waterford Crystal expert and someone who can show you how to make the perfect cup of Irish coffee.

On top of all that, agents will be able to win great prizes.
