Hotels pool together in bid to make south-east Irish conferencing capital

SIX leading hotels in the south-east have teamed up to bid for a greater share of the lucrative conference market.

The Seven Oaks Hotel, Carlow and Rivercourt Hotel, Kilkenny have joined in the initiative with the newly-opened Lyrath Estate Hotel, Spa & Convention Centre, Kilkenny; Faithlegg House Hotel & Golf Club, Co Waterford; Tower Hotel, Waterford and Talbot Hotel, Wexford.

They have combined to produce a 36-page brochure marketing the region as a conference venue. Launched by Irish Hotels Federation president Dick Bourke, the South-East Conference & Incentive Guide provides details of the attractions on offer to delegates attending conferences and business meetings in Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford and Wexford, as well as featuring specific information on the featured hotels.
