Eleven tourism companies from Ireland – including Blessington’s Russborough House – joined Tourism Ireland’s lunch and learn events in France.
The events took place in the cities of Bordeaux and Toulouse.
The lunch and learn events – which included presentations about Ireland as well as networking opportunities – were a valuable opportunity for the tourism companies from Ireland to connect with French travel agents and tour operators, who bring valuable tourists to the island.
The aim is to inspire the French travel professionals about all that Ireland has to offer and to win a greater share of their business for 2025 and beyond.
Ana Luis, Tourism Ireland’s trade partnership manager for France, said: “We are delighted that so many key French travel agents and tour operators took the time to come and meet with our partners from Ireland in Bordeaux and Toulouse.
“Our roadshow is a valuable platform for our partners from Ireland to showcase and sell their products and services, to ensure they win a greater share of the travel agents and tour operators’ business for 2025 and beyond.”
