Maria Hourican, organiser of the Holiday World Show Dublin said, “One of the fascinating things about running our annual show has been watching it grow and evolve over the years. In a digital age, when time is short, spending your time wisely is important and you will not spend time any better than a tour around the stands at the show, and meeting people face to face and getting answers to the questions that your smartphone cannot provide.”
