☀️ The sun was out for Day 2 of our #DiscoverNorthernIreland event yesterday as our buyers explored the #CausewayCoastalRoute. Stops along the way included Antrim Estates Company, Glenarm Castle - ancestral home to the Earls of Antrim, the dramatic Giants Causeway, and Gray's Bushmill for lunch with a view. In the evening, our buyers enjoyed a welcome dinner at Titanic Hotel Belfast. Today was all about #business, and our buyers met with local suppliers in a series of 1:1 appointments at ICC Belfast | Waterfront Hall | Ulster Hall to build partnerships and develop itineraries for 2025 and beyond. A big thank you to everyone involved over the last 3 days including AC Hotel by Marriott Belfast and J&K Coaches Ltd, and of course to Nikki Paterson, Gwen Beveridge, Ellvena Graham OBE FIoD, Aisling McDermott, Naomi Waite and all the team at Tourism Northern Ireland for making this trip such a success for our buyers. #traveltrade #B2B #inboundtourism #partnership
