It’s official: Ireland
means business.
Here’s a hi-tech
economy hooked right into Europe – and under one hour’s flight from the UK
- the perfect location for your conference, meeting or event. Delegates
visiting Ireland
don’t just experience world-class venues, facilities and accommodation. They
experience them along with the unique spirit, can-do attitude and soulful
hospitality of the Irish people themselves.
This is a place, as
Lonely Planet put it, ‘with the sense that anything’s possible.’
Ireland is easily
accessible from all over the world. Direct flights arrive and depart daily from
the US and Gulf
States, eight airports connect with countless cities all over the UK and Europe, and a wide range of ferry routes
provide car and freight links to France
and the UK.
It offers superb
value, too. Cities like Dublin, Cork,
Galway, Belfast and Limerick
offer state-of-the-art conference facilities alongside a full spread of stylish
and comfortable accommodation. You can meet in medieval castles, or iconic
modern buildings. The latest news? A £30 million expansion plan set to double
the size of Belfast’s
Waterfront.
Over 1,000
companies use Ireland
as their international base, bolstering its reputation as a go-to country for
conferences, meetings, incentive travel and events. From the smallest of
gatherings to G8 summits, visitors have acclaimed the professionalism and
friendliness of the Irish people. We’re both hard-working and easy-going. We
offer an unforgettable welcome, and we make your visit work. It’s a mix that’s
taken millennia to perfect!
Beyond the hi-tech
infrastructure, a timeless experience awaits. Ireland is at once rich in
tradition and a vibrant and energised 21st century nation. It’s a place where
you can step into a castle, savour a pint of Guinness or float through fantasy
landscapes one moment, before blitzing a mountain-bike trail or sampling
Michelin-Star food the next.
After your
conference in Cork or Kerry, imagine touring the
Lakes of Killarney or tasting the finest
artisan meats, cheeses and seafood in the country. After a meeting in
Derry~Londonderry, imagine driving the Causeway Coast, visiting breathtaking
locations from Game of Thrones, and enjoying a tasty glass of Bushmills at the
historic whiskey distillery.
After an event in Limerick, how about blowing away the cobwebs with a fresh
blast of Atlantic air on the Cliffs of Moher? Tour the Wild Atlantic Way in a vintage car – the
longest defined coastal driving route. Or a round of golf on a top-notch links
course? An hour’s drive from Dublin, you’ll find
age-old passage tombs in the Boyne
Valley. Galway is a short
spin from Connemara. Belfast is the birthplace of Titanic… and its
iconic new visitor centre.
Ireland: there’s no better
place to mix business and pleasure.
