‘Meet in Ireland’ was the message at The Meetings Show in London.

The Killarney Convention Centre and the Kerry Convention Bureau together with Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Northern Ireland attended the event, alongside 25 tourism companies from Ireland.

The Meetings Show is a leading exhibition for Business Events like corporate meetings, events and incentive travel industry.

The tourism companies from Ireland – all specialists in Business Events – engaged in around 750 commercial meetings with global meeting and event planners during the two-day event, which will, in turn, deliver Business Events for Ireland from around the world. Tourism Ireland’s goal is to enable thousands of commercial Business Events meetings this year – connecting our tourism partners from Ireland with overseas buyers to grow Business Events and support businesses across the island.

David Boyce, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Business Events, said: “The Meetings Show provides an important platform for us to promote Ireland as a premier destination for Business Events and we were delighted to have 25 tourism companies from Ireland with us at this event. They engaged in hundreds of commercial meetings and showcased the best of Ireland to influential international meeting and incentive travel planners.
