Transport Minister Varadkar announced today that the global organisation for adventure and activity tourism, the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) will hold its Adventure Travel World Summit in Ireland next year for four days in Killarney, 6-9th October 2014.
Approximately 650 decision-makers will gather in Killarney for a mixture of discussion, debate and networking centred on the fast-growing activity travel sector. The direct economic impact for the Irish economy from hosting such a global summit will be almost 1m euro, and the marketing, industry education and global business connectivity value it will provide will also be significant.
