Having been associated with the title for two decades of my career in journalism, this is a natural fit. I look forward to re-inventing Travel Extra and making it central to the lives of everyone in Ireland, who loves to travel and loves to read about travel as well as those who work in the travel, tourism, hospitality and aviation industries.”

Maria Hourican, CEO of Business Exhibitions, previous owners of TRAVELExtra, “We are delighted that Eoghan will continue with Travel Extra. His vast knowledge of all things travel will be really valuable to the travel trade and readers. Eoghan’s passion for the magazine and his respect for its value and its potential is truly inspiring.”

She continued, “I’m very excited to see what Eoghan will do with the magazine and I look forward to the continuation of the partnership between TRAVELExtra and Business Exhibitions”.

While no longer holding an interest in TRAVELExtra, Business Exhibitions will continue to have an involvement providing commercial sales support for the publication.
