Or how your senses can awaken your memories and transport you to a specific time in your life or a place you fell in love with? Please join us on an immersive journey of Ireland with our friends from Sensorium in Ireland. Taste, tour & discover where on the Emerald Isle your senses align with! Explore why you like what you like through a series of sensory experiments! Guaranteed to be fun, immersive and you might be surprised with what you learn about yourself! Nobody leaves empty handed. Spaces are limited – Reserve your spot now!” When it comes to Wednesday it will be the one with Keith Barry, world’s leading TV hypnotist, mentalist and brain hacker (Irish born) who will provide an unforgettable experience.
She further explained about the expectations by Tourism Ireland at this event, “This year Tourism Ireland are increasing their presence at TFest as a Preferred Partner in the Global Village. This allows us to bring more luxury suppliers from across the island of Ireland and give visitors a true 360-degree taste of Ireland through all their senses. Visitors will leave understanding what Ireland can offer their clients from luxury accommodation to exclusive experiences that are unique to the island of Ireland. We’re confident that TFest will give us the platform to grow luxury holidaymakers to our island in 2023 and beyond.”

It brings together pioneers of the travel industry in one setting over 3 days. For Tourism Ireland, this allows us to share our Luxury story in a natural and relaxed environment . Much like what Ireland is adored and loved for!”
