Thousands of visitors have been descending on the University of Limerick in search of bargain breaks in the sun, luxury cruise holidays, bespoke honeymoons and long-haul flight deals.
The Holiday Show, in association with Shannon Airport, is the biggest of its kind outside of the capital and is set to welcome over 80 worldwide travel suppliers to Limerick this weekend.
Those on the hunt for low-priced flights or route advice can look forward to meeting with representatives from airlines such as Turkish Airlines, United Airlines, Aer Lingus, Ethiopian Airlines, Delta Air Lines and many more.
The package holiday is still as popular as ever and savvy people looking for a cheap week in the sun can speak with a number of agents and operators this weekend, including American Holidays, Sunway, ClickandGo.com, Tropical Sky, Dawson Travel and Limerick Travel.
