Tourism Ireland organised a networking event in Paris, connecting 30 French luxury travel buyers with 14 Irish tourism enterprises.
The event featured a workshop with 200 one-to-one meetings, a presentation, and networking sessions to promote luxury products for 2026. Guests experienced Irish elements, including a tasting from Teeling Whiskey Distillery, smoked salmon from the Burren Smokehouse, and a jewellery-making session with NI Silver.
The gathering aimed to showcase Ireland’s luxury offerings, such as boutique hotels, resorts, spas, culture, and heritage. It provided opportunities to build relationships and secure business deals.
David Boyce shared: “We were delighted to bring together our fantastic tourism partners from Ireland to meet with these influential French luxury travel buyers. Our event presented a valuable platform to showcase Ireland’s luxury tourism offering – including our boutique hotels and luxury resorts and spas, as well as our rich culture and heritage – to strengthen relationships and drive business opportunities for 2026 and beyond.”
