Travel experts visiting tourist attractions in Kildare
Promoting tourism visits to Kildare
Fifteen Belgian and Dutch tour operators and travel agents have been visiting Ireland as guests of Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland.
The aim of the visit was to educate and enthuse the travel professionals about some of the many great things to see and do in Ireland’s Ancient East, so they are better equipped to sell the destination to their clients when they return home.
The group’s itinerary included the Irish National Stud & Gardens.
Karen van der Horst, Tourism Ireland’s Manager for Northern Europe, said: “We were delighted to invite this group of Belgian and Dutch tour operators and travel agents to explore Ireland’s Ancient East – and experience our amazing scenery, activities and hospitality for themselves.
"Fact-finding visits like this are a key element of Tourism Ireland’s activity with the travel trade in both Belgium and the Netherlands.
"Our aim is that when they return home, the travel professionals will be even more enthusiastic about the destination, helping to secure a greater share of their business for Ireland in 2024 and beyond.”
