The famil was hosted by Tourism Ireland, who recognise the vital role travel advisors play in bringing Aussies to the country.
“We’re delighted these influential travel agents from Australia and New Zealand have taken the time to come and experience the island of Ireland’s superb tourism offering – including our rich cultural and historical experiences,” said Sofia Hansson, Tourism Ireland’s Manager for Australia and New Zealand.
“It also acts as a great opportunity to familiarise them with the destination when preparing itineraries for their clients.”
The itinerary also included a visit to Donegal Castle, The Shed Distillery, Sligo Oyster Experience and VOYA Seaweed Baths.
The agents also enjoyed a sheepdog demonstration with Atlantic Sheepdogs and guided tours of the National Famine Museum at Strokestown Park, Irish National Stud & Gardens, Book of Kells Experience in Trinity College Dublin and Windmill Lane Recording Studios, as well as a food tour with Walking Food Tours in Dublin.
