Fáilte Ireland secures international conferences worth €67m
Summary
This figure represents an increase of more than 15% in the value of the conferences secured over the same period of time in 2018. Fáilte Ireland are hoping to further boost these numbers over the coming days at the IMEX Frankfurt event which commences tomorrow. Testament to this is the fact that, just ahead of the mid-year mark, we are already on track to exceed our growth targets for Business Tourism in 2018. "Conferences and business events are benefitting regions outside Dublin but they could play a much bigger part – this will be a strategic focus of our work over the coming years and we’re hoping to convert even more business for regional Ireland at IMEX Frankfurt this week. " According to Fáilte Ireland’s Head of Commercial Development Paul Mockler, Ireland is punching well above its weight when it comes to winning business events.
