Bureau puts best foot forward in ‘sister city’

IN his letter headlined ‘Chinese visitors run into Irish wall’ (March 6), Gerry Mullins appears to have a complete misunderstanding of Cork Marketing Partnership (CMP) and World Expo 2010.

CMP is not spending any money promoting tourism at World Expo. The tourism focus of CMP is devoted specifically to business tourism, which is undertaken by its Cork Convention Bureau project.

The national responsibility for tourism marketing rests with Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, with which CMP works closely.
