It’s not all work there just has to be some IPW Irish play time.

Such an honour to be here with our amazing Irish travel trade and media partners at IPW 2026 in a sun-soaked Fort Lauderdale!

Don is proudly flying the Irish flag alongside the entire crew, connecting with our valued USA partners both on and off the shop floor, attending incredible events, strengthening relationships and showcasing the power of the Irish outbound market at the biggest international travel trade event in the world.

From early morning appointments to late-night networking, the energy, positivity and opportunities at IPW 2026 have been absolutely exceptional – and yes… there has also been some very important Irish “play time” mixed in too!

Huge thanks to all our incredible partners for the outstanding hospitality and unforgettable experiences so far including Visit Central Florida, New York City Tourism + Conventions, Pennsylvania, Explore Minnesota, Taste of Tennessee, I LOVE NY, Brand USA, Visit California, Meet Boston, The Arizona Office of Tourism, Visit Phoenix and so many more of our valued USA tourism partners.

The appetite for USA travel from Ireland continues to grow strongly with fantastic connectivity from Aer Lingus, United Airlines, British Airways, Delta, JetBlue and more, making the USA more accessible than ever for Irish holidaymakers.

The collaboration, innovation and partnership opportunities across the Irish and US travel industries this week have been simply outstanding – and we still have another full day to go!

And remember… what happens at IPW stays at IPW… unless Don has photos!
