Louth council reps in New York for tourism discussions

REPRESENTATIVES of Louth County Council, who were in New York for the St Patrick’s Day period, met with senior executives from Tourism Ireland.

They were briefed on Tourism Ireland’s extensive promotional programme in the United States for 2018, which is in full swing right now.

The United States is the second-largest market for tourism to the island of Ireland. 2017 was the fifth record-breaking year in a row for Irish tourism from the US, when we welcomed a record 1.83 American visitors.

“We were delighted to meet with the representatives of Louth County Council and to have the opportunity to brief them about the extensive promotional programme we are undertaking in the United States this year,” said Alison Metcalfe, Tourism Ireland’s Head of North America.
