Hosting G8 summit put Lough Erne on the map

British prime minister David Cameron visited the resort in Nov 2012, and it was only then confirmed that we were going to host the G8. We were on the shortlist, but we knew if he did not like it, it was never going to happen. But he loved it.
I met every one of world leaders personally when they arrived. Lough Erne was really an ideal location — it was only ever two minutes of private golf road to their lodgings. They were in splendid isolation.
