Tourism Ireland, together with Castle Leslie Estate and House of Waterford, is attending a luxury travel event in Manchester this week.
The event – called Aspire Escapes – is attended by travel agents from Great Britain who specialise in arranging high-end luxury travel. It involves a programme of bespoke one-to-one appointments and networking sessions – providing an excellent opportunity for the tourism companies from Ireland to negotiate and secure luxury travel business for 2026 and beyond.
David Boyce, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Business Events and Luxury, said: “Aspire Escapes is an excellent platform to showcase Ireland as a superb destination for luxury travel. Our boutique hotels, castles and luxury resorts, as well as our top visitor attractions and rich culture and heritage, and not forgetting our superb culinary experiences, make Ireland a fantastic choice for a luxury getaway.
“The format of bespoke one-to-one appointments and networking sessions provides a valuable opportunity to meet, and connect with, the high-end luxury travel agents in attendance – ensuring Ireland is ‘top of mind’ for them when they’re recommending destinations to their clients.”
