Five tourism companies from Ireland are joining Tourism Ireland at the events. <\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Lunch &amp; Learn\u2019 events \u2013 which include presentations about Ireland, as well as networking \u2013 are a valuable opportunity for the tourism companies from Ireland to connect with French buyers, to ensure they recommend Ireland to their clients for future meetings and incentive travel and, ultimately, to grow Business Events from France. <\/p>\n<p>Ana Luis, Tourism Ireland\u2019s Trade Partnership Manager France, said: \u201cWe are delighted that so many key French MICE buyers took the time to come and meet with our partners from Ireland in Nice, Marseille and Lyon this week. Our roadshow is a valuable platform for our partners to showcase and sell their products and services and inspire the French business travel buyers they meet about all that Ireland has to offer their clients, ensuring they win a greater share of the buyers\u2019 business for 2027 and beyond.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Tourism Ireland\u2019s goal is to enable 7,500 commercial meetings focused on Business Events this year \u2013 connecting tourism organisations from Ireland with overseas buyers to grow Business Events and support businesses across the island.  <\/p>\n<p>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourismireland.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1793116093_951_tourismireland.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; \"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Tourism+Ireland+Showcases+Ireland%E2%80%99s+Business+Events+Offering+in+France+%40HotelNews_ie%0ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.hotelnews.ie%2Farticles%2F2026%2Ftourismireland%2Fbusiness-in-france\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hotelnews.ie%2Farticles%2F2026%2Ftourismireland%2Fbusiness-in-france&amp;title=Tourism+Ireland+Showcases+Ireland%E2%80%99s+Business+Events+Offering+in+France&amp;summary=%E2%80%98Lunch+%26+Learn%E2%80%99+events+in+Nice%2C+Marseille+and+Lyon+connect+Irish+tourism+businesses+with+key+French+MICE+buyers&amp;source=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Tourism Ireland Showcases Ireland\u2019s Business Events Offering in France&amp;body=From HotelNews.ie: https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hotelnews.ie%2Farticles%2F2026%2Ftourismireland%2Fbusiness-in-france \"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>IHF Member Hotels &amp; Guesthouses and tourism industry partners can submit news stories for inclusion by emailing us at <a class=\"o\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hotelnews.ie\/articles\/2026\/tourismireland\/mailto:hotelnews@ihf.ie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hotelnews@ihf.ie<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tourism Marketing Tourism Ireland Showcases Ireland\u2019s Business Events Offering in France \u2018Lunch &amp; Learn\u2019 events in Nice, Marseille&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":666938,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-666937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/666937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=666937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/666937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/666938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=666937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=666937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=666937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
