Whistle-stop tour of Kildare for travel experts from Middle East

Four luxury travel buyers from the Middle East have been exploring Kildare and Ireland – as guests of Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland. The group’s action-packed itinerary included a visit to the Curragh Racecourse and the K Club.

The travel professionals – all specialists in luxury travel – design unique, luxury travel itineraries for their high net-worth Emiratis and Middle Eastern clients. The aim of the visit is to familiarise them with Ireland and our superb luxury tourism offering, so that when they return home, they will be better informed and more enthusiastic than ever about Ireland when advising their clients about planning and booking their holidays here.

Aisling McDermott, Tourism Ireland’s Manager Middle East & Asia, said: “Tourism Ireland was delighted to invite this group of luxury travel buyers to visit Kildare and Ireland, to experience at first-hand some of our luxury tourism offering, including our boutique hotels and luxury resorts. Seeing is believing – and our aim is that when they return home, they will be even more enthusiastic about the destination, helping to secure a greater share of their business for the island of Ireland in 2023 and beyond.”
