A group of influential incentive buyers from France, who were on ‘Meet in Ireland’ familiarization trip, were shown around Cork to learn more on how they can programme Ireland for future high-end incentive programmes for their corporate clients in France.
For the majority of the French buyers, this was their first time to travel to Ireland.
A bespoke itinerary was designed for the group to showcase what Cork has to offer and included a tour of the City in vintage cars from the Montenotte Hotel; a trip to Cork City Gaol; a food tasting experience at the famous English market; whiskey sampling at Jameson Distillery Midleton; a guided Titanic Experience tour in Cobh and a short walk to the harbour for a sea safari across Crosshaven.
The group also headed to Dublin for some site visits.
CITY & COUNTY ON THE RISE
Evelyn O’Sullivan, Cork Convention Bureau commented, “We are so delighted to welcome our French guests to Cork. Often referred to as Europe’s best-kept secret, Cork is a city and county that’s rising at the moment with over 1,300 new hotel beds planned over the next 2 years including a luxurious floating hotel on the river. Cork is known as the food capital of Ireland and the English market that this group will be visiting is proof of this accolade. Cork – it really is fit for a queen!”
The visit was hosted by Fáilte Ireland’s Meet in Ireland team, in collaboration with Tourism Ireland and the Cork Convention Bureau.
