Americans sign up for hospitality at The 2010 Ryder Cup

The 2010 Ryder Cup at The Celtic Manor Resort, Newport, South Wales looks set to attract a large number of business visitors from North America.

Just three months after the launch of the corporate hospitality packages for the event, several major North American corporations have already signed up, including the US telecommunications giant AT&T and Canadian business communications specialist Mitel Networks.

“There is a lot of interest in the event in North America where businesses recognise the value of corporate hospitality and see The Ryder Cup as a premier event at which to entertain key clients and contacts,” said David Watt, Ryder Cup Hospitality Sales Manager. “This is great news for Wales as it will boost the country’s profile in the business community globally and help to deliver real economic benefits.”
