Galway Food Tours joined 13 other Irish companies in the US last week for Tourism Ireland’s Luxury Summit – which visited Boston, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
The four-day luxury sales summit involved a programme of networking events, offering an excellent opportunity for the tourism companies from Ireland.
Roughly 40 leading buyers in high-end luxury travel from the US were in attendance.
The aim of the trip was to ensure that Ireland is ‘top of mind’ for the buyers when they are recommending a destination to their clients.
Alison Metcalfe, Tourism Ireland’s Head of North America, said that their Luxury Summit to Boston, Greenwich, West Orange and New York was an excellent platform for Tourism Ireland.
“It was great to highlight the superb luxury tourism offering available right around Ireland – from our boutique hotels, castles and luxury resorts to our rich culture and heritage, and not forgetting our world-class golf and superb culinary scene,” she said.
“The summit offers a really good opportunity to increase awareness of Ireland among the influential luxury travel buyers based in this part of the United States and to secure a greater share of their valuable business for 2024 and beyond.”
