LIVE from AVEA Conference 2025 - Get your attraction retail ready
Recorded live at AVEA 2025 in Waterford, Ireland, this episode explores how attractions can integrate retail into the overall experience.
Paul Marden chats with Jennifer Kennedy, Michael Dolan, Catherine Toolan, Máirín Walsh, and Dean Kelly about creating authentic, memorable gift shops that go far beyond souvenirs with insights on storytelling, sustainability, and the power of local products.
Then Paul takes us to the conference floor to hear from Irish tourism leaders: Charles Coyle of Emerald Park on growth and AI-driven pricing, Suzanne Reid of Christ Church Cathedral on accessibility and a 1,000-year celebration, and Ray Dempsey of Jameson Distillery on inclusion and Dublin’s thriving visitor scene.
