Several Kerry hotels were present at the IAGTO European Convention in Gran Canaria last week.
The O’ Donoghue Ring Collection, The Brehon Hotel & Spa and The Killarney Park were part of the delegation of 19 golf and tourism operators from Ireland that joined Tourism Ireland at the convention.
The convention took place recently, and involved one-to-one, pre-scheduled appointments and networking sessions to allow for business negotiations.
Aisling McDermott, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Global Partnerships, said: “The IAGTO European Convention was a fantastic opportunity to showcase Ireland and our world-class golf. Golf is the world’s largest sports-related travel market and Tourism Ireland is working hard to drive home the message that a golfing holiday in Ireland is about much more than a round of 18 holes – the combination of our world-class golf and our unique brand of hospitality plays a key role in attracting golfers from around the world.
“Our participation at this convention is just one element of Tourism Ireland’s busy promotional programme to inspire more international golfers to choose Ireland. We’re also taking every opportunity to highlight the fact that The Open will return to Royal Portrush this summer, the Irish Open is happening at The K Club in September and the Ryder Cup will take place at Adare Manor in 2027.”
