Mark your calendars for two days of networking with key partners from 2 – 6 pm UAE time on 8th & 9th March 2021 on Tourism Ireland virtual show. One of the esteemed partners shared what is to be expected at the event. Eoin McGrath – Sales Manager -Hastings Hotels said, “Our demand in 2020, which was short-lived, initiated our plans to reconfigure room categories, to accommodate multi-generational families, a trend which we already see an increase in inquiries for late 2021. The Middle Eastern market continues to be an emerging market for not only our hotels but Northern Ireland. I usually am in the USA every month for 5-7 days, however, in 2019 and planned for 2020, I had scheduled several visits to the Middle East to further cement relationships created by attending shows in Dubai, Turkey, and Qatar. I regularly participate in Tourism Ireland-led activities for the Middle East, lately, virtually. I communicate both by telephone and email, on a regular basis with clients that I have met along the way through various programmes.”
