The Irish-American Tourism Association is an affiliate of the Boston Irish Tourism Association (BITA), an organization formed in 2000 to promote Irish-American culture in Massachusetts. BITA has over 100 members and sponsors - including hotels, gift shops, pubs and restaurants, travel agencies, concert venues, museums and universities and tourism groups.
Our goal is to promote the Irish brand in the United States in a positive, contemporary and informative manner while accentuating the long-standing tradtions, achievements and celebrations of the Irish American community.
We hope to strengthen tourism ties between New England, Canada and Ireland by encouraging travel between these destinations.
