This is not only good news for us, but for the local economy as a whole. When we secure business events, especially residential conferences, the delegates have a busy itinerary including dinners and visits to the local tourist attractions which has a positive economic impact for Newcastle and Northern Ireland,\u201d Nora continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe work closely with event organisers to help ensure all their requirements are met and can assist in arranging team building activities with the local outdoor activity centre which offers everything from coasteering to bouldering, field archery and mountain biking \u2013 ultimately adding to the overall experience,\u201d Nora added.<\/p>\n<p>The Slieve Donard Resort &amp; Spa offers the magnificent Grand Ballroom which is one of the largest function suites in Northern Ireland and the Chandelier Room which boasts stunning views over the mountains.
