Free Networking morning

Mayo North and Ballina Tourist Office are teaming up to host an informal, FREE networking morning on Tuesday May 24th from 10am–1pm in the Ballina Manor Hotel.

The objective of the morning is for those working in tourism within the Ballina Municipal District (hotels, activity providers, B&Bs, pubs, restaurants, events, visitor centres etc.) to either take a stand for own business and local attractions, or come in, browse and learn what's on offer elsewhere in the region.

Everyone or every group who can offer an experience to a tourist is welcome – whether that's a trad session, a fine dining experience, a water activity, walking trails, bike hire, fishing, a luxury spa … you get the picture.

Even if businesses do not wish to exhibit, they can come in for a chat and bring flyers, business cards or information for sharing – it will be very informal. .

If you need any more information contact Mayo North, Mags at Ballina Chamber of Commerce or Máirtín Flannery.
