If you are still looking for reasons to come and join the ECM spring meeting in Dublin, ECM’s President, Frank Magee, can help!

\n

Never has it been more important to discuss the current economic challenges facing the tourism industry. Share experiences, ideas and solutions with Europe’s top tourism industry representatives in Dublin this spring.

\n

 

\n

You may have been to Dublin before but did you know that this charming European capital boasts some of Ireland’s most beautiful coastline? See for yourself at the pretty seaside town of Malahide.

\n

 

\n

The Irish harp, a symbol of Ireland and the Irish since medieval times, is a beautiful instrument. Malahide Castle’s resident harpist will entertain you with this symbolic instrument in a truly historic setting.

\n

 

\n

Europe’s airline industry has been revolutionised by Ryanair, the original – and still Europe’s largest – low fares carrier. Meet the charismatic man behind this success, Michael O’Leary, guest speaker at the spring meeting of ECM.

\n

 

\n

Dublin is fast becoming one of Europe’s top culinary destinations. Follow the Fabulous Food Trail to see – and taste – Dublin’s delights for yourself.

\n

 

\n

Dublin is home to the friendliest people in the world. Add to this live music, packed pubs, hip clubs and plenty of culture plus a real passion for sport and you have everything you need for an inspirational meeting!

\n

 

\n

2009 is a year of celebration for Dublin as we mark the 250th anniversary of Guinness, ‘the Black Stuff’ and the 125th anniversary of the Gaelic Athletics Association. There’s never been a more exciting time to join the party!

\n

 

\n

Tee off at Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links, one of Dublin’s Championship Links courses. We promise lots of inspiration in a location that will allow you to wind down physically and inspire you to go home totally reenergized and full of new ideas.

\n

 

\n

Dublin is known around the world for its music – from traditional to rock. Join me in Dublin this spring, and I will sing my favourite Irish ditty for you!
