Discover New England Brings the Spirit of the Northeast to Dublin

#Traveltradetogether

A full-on fun afternoon of insightful updates from New England Partners.

Our New England delegation welcomed an enthusiastic group of trade and media partners this afternoon at Dublin’s charming Little Lemon restaurant. The event was a lively celebration of all things New England, showcasing the unique charm, heritage, and diversity of the region’s six iconic states: Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

Tony Lane (Trade & PR Representative Discover New England) led the afternoon with his signature style and expertise. Joining him was Kerrie Tripp (Discover New England Director Product & Sales) who hails from the beautiful state of Maine. Kerrie shared heartfelt insights about her home state and introduced passionate representatives from across the region including:

Carolann Oulette (Visit Maine), Susan Henrique (Visit Connecticut), Dagny Ashley (Discover Quincy), Dan Fryer (The Mansions of Newport) and Dennis Lyons (DATTCO).

From the academic prestige of Yale University in Connecticut to the historic harbours of Plymouth, Massachusetts, the sailing capital of Newport, Discover Quincy, New Hampshire, Newport Mansions, Maine, DATTCO, the superior choice for ground transportation, Rhode Island, and the scenic beauty of Vermont’s fall foliage, each state was brought to life with vibrant storytelling and contagious enthusiasm.

Attendees enjoyed not only insider updates and inspiration but also the warm hospitality and collaborative spirit that defines the New England experience.

And let’s not forget New England is easier than ever to reach, thanks to direct Aer Lingus flights from Dublin to Boston, placing travellers right at the gateway to this unforgettable region, represented on the day by Head of Global Sales, Jenny Rafter.

Don Shearer (Travelbiz & Travelfinders) was on hand to capture the excitement and connect with key partners. We’ve got all the images and highlights ready for you on the Travelbiz Hub!

Aer Lingus offers three time daily flights into Boston from Dublin and Shannon. Daily into Hartford, Connecticut from Dublin so connectivity to New England has never been better as your New England adventure awaits. ☘️
