Tourism Ireland, in collaboration with four prominent tourism companies from Ireland, is proudly participating in the annual Global Travel Marketplace West (GTM West) in Henderson, Nevada, this week. GTM West is a dynamic three-day event that features customized one-on-one appointments and dedicated networking sessions. This event provides an exceptional platform for Irish tourism businesses to connect with and showcase their offerings to influential travel advisors from the United States and Canada. By doing so, it ensures that Ireland remains a top consideration for these advisors when recommending destinations to their vast network of clients.
Alison Metcalfe, Tourism Ireland’s Head of North America, expressed her enthusiasm by stating, “Our participation at this year’s GTM West provides another excellent platform to highlight the many remarkable experiences and attractions that the island of Ireland has to offer to influential North American travel professionals. Events like this offer an invaluable opportunity for Tourism Ireland and our esteemed partners to engage and network with these travel professionals, contributing to the growth and success of the tourism industry on the island of Ireland in 2024 and beyond.”

They are joined by industry leaders Finola McDermott from EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Niamh O’Neill from O’Donoghue Ring Collection, John Higgins from the National Trust – Giant’s Causeway Visitor Centre, and Evelina Alimaite from Ei Travel Group. Their presence at this prestigious event underscores Tourism Ireland’s commitment to promoting Ireland as a must-visit destination for discerning travelers from North America.
