Ireland. The Convention Centre Dublin (The CCD) announced that it has confirmed over 200,000 international delegate days, which help support Ireland’s business tourism goal of €1billion by 2013, based on research by Fáilte Ireland.
“With just under a year to go before The Convention Centre opens its doors, we already have secured over 200,000 delegate days”, said Nick Waight, CEO, The Convention Centre Dublin.“This is an extraordinary international vote of confidence in the quality of this world-class facility, and in Dublin itself, despite the economic downturn.”
These international delegates to date will bring €62 million to the economy through staying in hotels, taking taxis, dining out and enjoying some of Ireland’s many visitor attractions and activities.
The CCD, situated in Spencer Dock beside the River Liffey, is Ireland’s first world-class, purpose-built convention centre and it will facilitate international conferences, meetings and stand-alone banqueting events for associations and corporate clients across a variety of industries including design, finance, legal, medicine, pharmaceutical, research and technology.
