Tourism Ireland attends ECOLUXURY Fair in Rome

Tourism Ireland attended the ECOLUXURY Fair in Rome last week and was joined there by the Slieve Donard Hotel and Spa from Newcastle, County Down.

The B2B fair for the international travel trade focuses on high-end sustainable tourism and was attended by more than 250 travel agents, event organisers and specialists in sustainable eco-tourism.

Tourism Ireland is attending the ECOLUXURY Fair in Rome this week and is joined there by the Slieve Donard. Pictured are Amanda McBride (Slieve Donard) ; Olivia Scullion and Mary O’Connor ( Tourism Ireland).

Now in its fifth year, the three-day event involved a sustainability forum, one-to-one pre-scheduled appointments, as well as various networking events – all aiming to promote tourism which follows sustainable and environmentally responsible standards.

The event provides a valuable opportunity for Tourism Ireland and the Slieve Donard to connect with specialists in sustainable travel and to meet, and do business with, influential luxury travel professionals, whose high net-worth international clients want to support sustainable travel.

Marcella Ercolini, Tourism Ireland’s Manager Italy, said: “ECOLUXURY Fair is an excellent platform to showcase our sustainable luxury tourism offering.

“The format of one-to-one appointments provides a valuable opportunity to meet, and do business with, influential international travel professionals – ensuring Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland is ‘top of mind’ for them in 2023 when recommending destinations to their clients.”
