Having knowledge and understanding of the international business arena is crucial, and to experience it first hand is an invaluable asset. Participants will gain a unique first hand understanding of the marketing environments in these countries in terms of their political, economic, technological, financial and cultural dimensions. Appointments may include government organizations, multinational companies and locally owned companies.

You will explore the cosmopolitan Dublin City, then journey through the heart of the land and arrive in the ancient town of Waterford with its colorful terrace houses, cafes and bars overlooking the quayside. Then, its off to Cork, the largest city on the south coast of Ireland. Time permitting, we may be able to visit Cobh, where the mass emigration of Irish to the United States took place, and the last port of call for the Titanic. Your trip continues to the charming market town of Killarney, famous for its open, cheerful atmosphere, where we will do day trips to the beautiful Iveragh Peninsular, better known as the “Ring of Kerry.” It is undoubtedly one of the most magical places in all Ireland. Your final stop is in Shannon where you will bid farewell to the Emerald Isle.
