Day 6 of Experience NI, Titanic and more at Grand Central Terminal, New York City - by Susie Millar
Greetings from the Big Apple - This evening, folks will be taking a ‘bite’ of the showcase event, with travel trade representatives and others who bring tourism to Ireland being schmoozed by the likes of me! Of course, I will be ably assisted by Tourism Minister Arlene Foster and Culture Minister Nelson McCausland, who will also be in attendance.
Although everyone participating in the promotion here has sore and swollen feet from standing 12 hours a day, we are keeping smiles on our faces and selling NI as a must see destination. From a Titanic perspective, there are still plenty of people asking what the belfast connection is which shows just how much more work there is to do. If I am totally honest we have had our fair share me professional leaflet collectors I call them the blue bin brigade because it is obvious that most of the literature will end up in the equivalent of the recycling but mixed in with the non passport holders are a stream of people keen to hear about Titanic Belfast and planning a trip in 2012. See you all soon!
