During her current visit to Australia, our Founder and CEO, Hazel Thompson, MBA, reconnected with Alison Metcalfe, Executive Vice President and Head of North America, Australia, and New Zealand for Tourism Ireland and Sofia Hansson , Director for Australia and New Zealand at Tourism Ireland.
Building on their ongoing collaboration, they had a productive discussion focused on the latest trends in Australian travel to #Ireland, with a particular emphasis on the ongoing popularity of golf tourism. Together, they also explored comparisons with the thriving North American market underscoring Irelandโs unique appeal to golfers worldwide. They met in the iconic Vue de monde Lui Bar on the 55th floor of #RialtoTowers with sweeping views of the Melbourneโs city scapes

Golfers are increasingly drawn to Ireland, not just for the challenge and beauty of its world-class courses, but also for the unique experience of immersing themselves in the heart of Irish culture and community.
