Galway tourism trade targets Canadian markets

A select number of tourism operators from Galway, will meet 20 top tour operators from Canada at a workshop in the Meyrick Hotel this Monday.
Canadian tourists visiting here injected an estimated €133 million into the Irish market last year – the Galway workshop titled, ‘Canadian Expo’, is organised by Fáilte Ireland, in conjunction with Tourism Ireland.
It is focusing on attracting more overseas visitors to Galway and other Irish destinations from key markets such as Canada.
The workshop provides a cost and time effective business opportunity for the Irish tourism businesses to meet buyers and engage in one-to-one sales meetings to either make initial contact or maintain already established business relationships.
While here the Canadian tour operators will enjoy a cruise on the Corrib Princess, have a tour around Galway’s foodie destinations with Galway Food Tours, have a site visit at Glenlo Abbey Hotel, and take in a trip to Kylemore Abbey.
