THE EMBASSY of Ireland, in London, was the venue for a recent business tourism networking event – organised by Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland – which was attended by about 50 senior representatives of international associations in Britain.
Representatives of the various Irish convention bureaux – including the Shannon Region Conference & Sports Bureau – told guests all about our world-class conference facilities and what makes the Mid-West and Ireland such a special destination.
Business tourism is the most lucrative form of tourism, with associations regularly holding conferences for thousands of delegates in different venues around the world, offering significant economic benefits to the host country.
