Tourism Ireland has continued efforts to increase golf visitor numbers from North America at the IAGTO North American Convention in Cancún, Mexico.
Ten golf and tourism operators from Ireland participated in the event with pre-scheduled appointments and networking sessions. The initiative supports business negotiations for 2026 and beyond while highlighting Ireland as a complete golf destination with world-class courses, scenery and hospitality.
The convention featured two days of pre-scheduled appointments and networking sessions. Companies from Ireland negotiated business for 2026 and beyond. Tourism Ireland highlighted world-class golf alongside scenery experiences and hospitality.
Participation forms one element of a wider promotional programme.
