Two Killarney tourism businesses got the chance to showcase their products at a major industry event in London recently.

LONDON CALLING: Susan Randles Randles Hotels; Mark Henry Tourism Ireland; and Amber Richards ACIS Tours at Flavours of Ireland 2022.

The Gleneagle Group and Randles Hotels attended ‘Flavours of Ireland’, Tourism Ireland’s annual B2B tourism workshop, where tourism companies from Ireland meet and do business with top global inbound tour operators.

Now in its 20th year, ‘Flavours’ took place in the Guildhall, in the City of London, and was attended by around 100 global inbound tour operators who deliver business from all over the world, including the United States, Mainland Europe, Asia, Australasia and Africa.

“Flavours provides an excellent opportunity for the participating tourism providers from Kerry and Ireland to highlight and sell their tourism product and build valuable relationships with the key decision-makers.

“The global inbound operators are preparing to sign contracts for 2023 and beyond; it is, therefore, a key time to influence the addition of new tourism products to their programmes that have the potential to deliver more regional and longer-stay business for Ireland,” David Boyce, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Global Inbound and Emerging Markets, said.
