It really seems to be a no-brainer. Galway is being left behind in attracting convention and conference business to the west, because of the lack of a funded convention bureau in the city.

The Meet In Galway marketing group is calling for support from local tourism stakeholders to form a much-needed Convention Bureau that will match the professional standing of Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Kerry and the Shannon region.

The tide is changing for Galway in 2016, as it is fast becoming a “hot spot” for international conference business. As business tourism continues to be one of the fastest growing segments of the tourism industry, local marketing group “Meet in Galway” with the support of Failte Ireland have, over the last three years, made significant inroads within the business tourism markets, with initial results showing over €2.5 million in international conference business secured for Galway for 2016 directly linked to Meet in Galway.
