Stephanie Groenwold, BBI Travel, meeting with Louise McGee, B&B Ireland, at Tourism Ireland’s annual trade workshop in Amsterdam.
Karen van der Horst, Tourism Ireland’s Manager in the Netherlands, said: “We are delighted that so many important Dutch travel agents and tour operators took the time to meet with our partners from Ireland, to learn about our superb tourism offering.
“The Netherlands is an important market for tourism to Ireland, with the most recent CSO figures indicating around 233,500 Dutch arrivals in the first seven months of the year, an increase of +3.6% on the same period in 2017. We are rolling out an extensive programme of promotions in the Netherlands this autumn, to keep the momentum going and boost business in the shoulder and off-peak season.”
