Ian Duffy, President of RIT Vacations, explained: “We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate 25 years than by raising a glass with the incredible advisors who’ve supported us along the way.”

And Duffy continued: “These events aren’t just about business – they’re about catching up, sharing stories, enjoying a bit of music, food, and drink, and of course, having the craic! We can’t wait to see familiar faces and toast to all the memories we’ve made — and the adventures still to come.”

Travel advisors attending the events can expect dynamic presentations, networking opportunities, and unique insights into Ireland’s travel offerings. Representing Ireland’s diverse tourism landscape, the Industry of Ireland partners will showcase both iconic attractions and hidden gems, reflecting the country’s timeless charm and modern appeal.

Sandra Moffatt, Director for Tourism Ireland in Canada, observed that: “Canada is a vital and growing market for Irish tourism, and partnerships like this one are instrumental in enhancing our visibility.”

And Moffatt continued: “Working with RIT Vacations has been a fantastic experience. Their dedication to promoting Ireland is outstanding, and we are excited to partner with them for this milestone celebration.”

With exclusive updates on 2026 tours, first-hand access to key Irish suppliers, and opportunities to deepen product knowledge, this Sales Mission promises to be an unforgettable celebration of Irish tourism and the trusted relationships that make it thrive.

For travel advisors passionate about selling Ireland – or looking to grow their Ireland sales – this is an unmissable opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate 25 years of travel excellence with RIT Vacations and Tourism Ireland.
