Martin Donnelly of
Failte Ireland said: "Failte Ireland is committed to
supporting sustainable growth in tourism in Ireland
through a better regional distribution of our
international guests to areas such as that in the
northern half of the Wild Atlantic Way, including
Donegal, Sligo and Mayo."
He added: "Over 600 sales appointments took place
during the workshop between international buyers and
the Irish suppliers in attendance.”
Figures show that more than 200,000 overseas
visitors play golf during their visit to Ireland
every year, contributing almost €220 million to the
economy. |
