Tourism And Marketing Conference Begins
Tourism Minister Arlene Foster has spoken about the importance of tourism and the G8 summit to American, German and local students.
The Minister was attending a conference on 'Marketing Tourism and Hospitality products to an International Market' at the Enniskillen campus of South West College.
The event is part of an annual programme of seminars, hosted by South West College, which allows local and overseas students to take part in collaborative study and to engage with industry providers, hear from local experts and undertake study visits.
Talking about the G8, Arlene Foster said: "We are setting out our stall to be one of the world’s very best destinations for visitors because we believe that this historic event will be a catalyst in the ongoing development of Fermanagh as an immensely attractive and high quality destination to visit in Northern Ireland.
"It will be marvellous to see political leaders from the US and Germany, as well as those from France, Italy, Russia, Canada, and Japan in Fermanagh for the G8. To my mind, it’s the best and most beautiful part of the UK, and probably one of the world’s most attractive and hospitable places."
