Networking Event To Develop Causeway Coast Tourism Experiences
A speed networking event is set to bring together all four Causeway Coastal Route (CCR) clusters to introduce their respective tourism products.
Businesses will have one to one exchanges, each lasting five minutes, in a bid to foster collaborative initiatives and help entrepreneurs identify more opportunities for tourism experiences.
Ciaran Doherty, Tourism Ireland's Stakeholder Liaison Manager for Northern Ireland, will be a keynote speaker for the evening and hopes to set the scene for a collaborative tourism experience which Tourism Ireland can then promote overseas.
He said: "I am delighted to have the opportunity to meet with our tourism partners here on the Causeway Coast and share details of the work of Tourism Ireland and the opportunities to work together in our key overseas markets.
"Our aim is to help our industry partners do more business overseas and facilitate them to 'close the sale'.
"Tourism Ireland has an extensive programme of promotions under way this year. We are taking every opportunity to leverage the exciting events happening over the coming months- including The 148th Open at Royal Portrush.
"And, later this month, we will unveil our new campaign around the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones.
"Our message overseas continues to be that a holiday in Northern Ireland offers the perfect combination of great events, spectacular scenery and our own unique brand of hospitality."
Attendees will learn about successful marketing campaigns and will hopefully leave feeling motivated to increase campaign support for their trade in the early autumn.
The event takes place on Tuesday 09 April from 6.45pm. Email tourism@midandeastantrim.gov.uk to register your attendance.
