The shows aim to remove the stress of juggling multiple impersonal online bookings for flights, accommodation, insurance and transport by offering face-to-face interaction for the consumer with real-life travel professionals with both experience and accountability.
Ireland has a population of over 7.5 million, and a tremendous appetite for travel that shows no sign of declining. Over 100 destinations are served direct from our major airports.
The goal of the organisers of the Holiday World Shows is to highlight the diversity of activities available for home holidaymakers, bringing the historic and symbolism to life and making it relevant to their plans for 2023.
Maria Hourican, CEO Business Exhibitions, organisers of Holiday World Shows said, “The Holiday World Shows are fantastic events for the travel trade and consumers alike. After a pause in International travel for the past few years, there is a huge appetite from the consumer to travel.”
