WHY IRELAND?

WHY IRELAND?

Incentive programs in Ireland are guaranteed to inspire and delight — whether that’s a stay in a five-star castle, a journey along the Wild Atlantic Way or a tour of Dublin’s cultural gems. Ireland offers complete ease of access, while our stunning locations are a unique selling point: from the historic buzz of ancient cities to the rugged coastline, the island of Ireland boasts a rich tapestry of experiences, woven together by history, natural beauty and culture. Rich in authentic activities, from story-telling sessions in thatched roof cottages to archery lessons at a fairytale castle, traditional Irish games to music sessions in cozy pubs, Ireland’s warm welcome is waiting.

EASY TO GET TO

Ireland is less than seven hours from Toronto, with year-round direct air access into Dublin and seasonal gateways including Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Halifax. Only two hours from many mainland Europe capitals and 50 minutes from London, access to Ireland is simple from most parts of the world.

Ireland is easy to get to, easy-going, and most importantly, easy to do business with.

EXCEPTIONAL PARTNERS

When planning your event, the benefits of working with a DMC are huge and should not be underestimated. Extensive local knowledge and close proximity can help mitigate risk, while having feet on the ground in the lead-up is invaluable. Focus on the big picture, leaving your experienced project manager to handle innumerable smaller tasks — acting as one point of contact for all your needs. Their existing supplier relationships and buying power will save you time and money, while their tried and tested formulas mean nothing is left to chance. A DMC can also offer a portfolio of unique and diverse experiences designed to be tailored specifically to your needs, ensuring that your event is one that lives long in the memory of all who attend.

MEETING IN IRELAND

MEETING IN IRELAND

Ireland excels as a destination for world-class conferences, incentives, and meetings. Its MICE-ready facilities range from large, state-of-the-art conference centres to luxury hotels and historic castles. Stunning natural locations like the Cliffs of Moher will delight and inspire. And the wealth of great experiences available—learning a two-part pour at the Guinness Storehouse, enjoying an evening of great traditional music at one of the country’s wonderful pubs, Game of Thrones cosplaying in Northern Ireland, and more—will add a “wow” factor to any business event. Last, but certainly not least, is the welcoming nature of the Irish. As the only English-speaking country in the Eurozone, incentive travel participants and conference attendees from over the pond will feel at home within hours of arriving in the Emerald Isle.
