The Cork show will be held at the Imperial Hotel on Wednesday 29 March and the Dublin show at the Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin on Thursday 30 March.

Organised by Business Exhibitions Limited on behalf of the ITAA, the shows are expected to attract more than 120 exhibitors from Ireland and beyond.

More than 300 travel trade visitors typically visit each year, comprising licensed travel agents and agency staff.

ITAA chief executive Pat Dawson said the events were an "invaluable opportunity" for travel agents and tour operators to network with their fellow professionals and discover the latest travel innovations, products and customer experiences.

"This is our seventh annual Irish Travel Trade Show in Dublin, and our second event in Cork, which will open the show up to travel professionals in the Munster and Leinster regions."

Dawson also thanked agents and their staff for their attendance at the 2022 shows "making them the most successful yet".

Maria Hourican, chief executive of Business Exhibitions Limited, added: "The Irish Travel Trade Shows always prove to be immensely popular with both exhibitors and visitors alike.

"In particular, our overseas exhibitors welcome the opportunity to meet the Irish travel trade face to face, introducing them to their product and highlighting new additions."
