Tourism Ireland is actively promoting the Emerald Isle to travel professionals in Austria and Switzerland this week. Approximately 80 tour operators and travel agents from these countries are attending B2B workshops in Linz, Vienna, Zurich, and Lausanne. This initiative brings together eight Irish tourism companies with key decision-makers in the Austrian and Swiss travel market.

One-on-one meetings and networking sessions allow Irish companies to highlight their products and services, enticing these professionals to plan trips to Ireland for their clients in 2025 and beyond.

From breathtaking landscapes and rich heritage to exceptional food and drink, world-class attractions, and exciting outdoor adventures, Ireland offers something for everyone.
