International tourism buyers from around the world have been experiencing what Kilkenny and Ireland have to offer firsthand ahead of attending Meitheal, one of Ireland’s most important tourism trade events.

They were in Kilkenny in recent days where they had a tour of the city and some key landmarks, such as Kilkenny Castle.

Meitheal is organised by Fáilte Ireland in partnership with Tourism Ireland to provide Irish tourism businesses with the opportunity to sell directly to top international buyers and tour operators and takes place from April 1-2 in the Gleneagle INEC Arena in Killarney. 

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Irish tourism bodies hosting trade events to promote Ireland to influential overseas buyers. Tourism experiences from across the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands, Ireland’s Ancient East, and Dublin, were included on bespoke itineraries designed by Fáilte Ireland with the objective of showcasing the best of the Irish tourism offering and showcasing the unique holiday experience that awaits visitors to Ireland.
