Travel professionals from Ireland and the UK were treated like royalty in the Queen City last week during a segment of Brand USA’s 2017 MegaFam.
The group, made up of travel agents from Ireland and the UK, qualified for the trip by booking travelers to the U.S. on American Airlines and British Airways. Hosted by the Cincinnati USA Convention & Visitors Bureau, the 17 visitors experienced a tour of Cincinnati’s underground lager tunnels and spent time on the field at Paul Brown Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati was included in one of seven U.S. itineraries in this year’s MegaFam.
