Members of the Donegal tourism industry today took part in one of a series of Fáilte Ireland workshops running from May 15-23.
The workshops were designed to help businesses manage costs effectively, increase competitiveness and retain and source new business from Northern Ireland, Great Britain and other markets in light of Brexit.
The workshop offered insights and expertise from top tourism specialists on a number of topics including priorities for businesses in challenging economic conditions, ways to reduce costs through smart purchasing, how to build on current buyer relationships and increasing sales opportunities.
Helen McDaid, Manager, Enterprise and Hospitality Development at Fáilte Ireland, said: “With Brexit on the horizon, many tourism businesses along the border are seeing a reduction in bookings from Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
“At Fáilte Ireland, we have designed a suite of supports to help businesses facing these challenges and our key message is ‘prepare and diversify’.
‘The ‘Managing Costs, Driving Sales & Winning Business’ workshops are practical and action based, helping tourism businesses to adapt and remain competitive in light of Brexit.”
