Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland were promoted to more than 50 top Spanish tour operators, travel agents and airline representatives, as well as to influential travel journalists – at Tourism Ireland’s ‘Una Velada Irlandesa’ (meaning ‘An Irish Evening’) events in Madrid and Barcelona recently.

8 tourism companies from across the island of Ireland took part in the ‘Una Velada Irlandesa’ events, promoting and selling their products and services to the Spanish travel professionals in attendance. The events also provided an opportunity to highlight what’s new and exciting around Northern Ireland to the Spanish travel journalists in attendance. Tourism Ireland’s message was that the island of Ireland is open for business again and we cannot wait to welcome back Spanish visitors.

Siobhan McManamy, Acting Chief Executive of Tourism Ireland, said:

“We’re really pleased that so many key Spanish travel professionals and journalists took the time to come and meet with our partners from Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland in Madrid and Barcelona this week. Our ‘Una Velada Irlandesa’ events provided a really valuable opportunity for our partners to showcase their product and connect with the influential Spanish travel professionals. The aim was to highlight the many things to see and do, and all that is new and exciting, on a holiday on the island of Ireland in 2022.”
