Apologies to those of you who clicked directly through to your specific news sector only to find it was not updated. Sorted for this week and updated with every thing except ‘Todays News’.
In last weeks newsletter we carried the article Bloom Phoenix Questions Raised Over Awarding of Tender for ‘Bloom in the Park’ 2012 Event Management. We had a response from a Bord Bia spokesperson that we have now included in the article. It basically say’s ‘All is Well’ and that it is all systems go for Bloom 2012. In the article Tourism Ireland Pitch up at Philadelphia International Flower Show you will see that they targeted 265,000 potential visitors while vitually next door, with 10 times that number expected to visit is Floriade 2012.
There is to our shame no Irish representation. Do ‘Tourism Ireland ask for advice on where to target potential visitors interested in garden related tourism? Obvisouly not! To finish on a Bord Bia positive there is a mine of useful information to be gleaned in Garden Market – Recent Consumer Research Findings. Sign up for these and related alerts at www.BordBia.ie
