Lou th’ s golf facilities promotedinN.Iby FailteIreland

FÁILTE Ireland’s annual golf promotion saw exhibitors from Louth including the Ballymascanlon Hotel and Seapoint Golf Club promote the range of facilities available in the wee county.

The event, which was held in Belfast last week has become a key date in Northern Ireland’s golfing calendar.

It was attended by 370 keen golfers, including members of local golf societies and golf clubs, who, as well as finding out what Ireland’s golf scene has to offer, enjoyed detailed briefings, networking opportunities, a golf simulator and some fantastic spot prizes.

Martin Donnelly, Business Development Manager with Fáilte Ireland, explains the importance of such events for golf tourism in Ireland:

‘ The Northern Ireland market is very important to the Irish golf industry, not just for the border counties, but right across the country and that is reflected in the number of clubs who have partnered with Fáilte Ireland on our Golf Ireland promotion night.’

He added: ‘Brexit has presented our tourism industry with challenges. However, we believe the quality of our golfing product and the amazing value we can offer Northern Irish consumers can help us in promoting activity from the north.

By supporting events like the Golf Ireland promotion night, Failte Ireland gives golf tourism providers throughout Ireland a high quality sales platform to promote their products in this market.’
