Bayview Hotel is NW200 sponsor
By ELEANOR MCGILLIE 10 April, 2017
Live It Experience It launched on February 27, 2017 and since then, so much work has been done bringing people together, finding out what each member offers and getting straight down to business.
Take the Bayview Hotel in Portballintrae for example.
The Bayview Hotel is a Live It Experience It member. We were delighted to have Trevor Kane at our launch – a hotelier full of enthusiasm for the opportunities Live It Experience It will present.
Attending our event also was Mervyn Whyte MBE, the NW200 event director and his colleague Fergus Mackay, events operations manager.
At the launch in The Arcadia in Portrush we announced a tourism partnership with the Vauxhall International North West 200 for 2017 – an honour for us and a marketing dream for our members. The NW200 organisers want tourism businesses in Northern Ireland to benefit from the 100,000 spectators who attend Ireland’s largest outdoor event. They also want their spectators to know what there is to do here in Northern Ireland. That’s where we come in.
So it was at our launch and partnership announcement that introductions were made and Trevor and Mervyn and Fergus began discussions about the Bayview Hotel becoming a race sponsor for this year’s Vauxhall International North West 200.
We are delighted for the Bayview Hotel and the North West 200 as the popular Bayview Hotel will now support the Superstock event on the Thursday evening.
Speaking about the sponsorship deal, Trevor said: “We are delighted to be a Live It Experience It member. As a hospitality provider in the area we understand the importance of collaborations and events like the North West 200 – not only for the local area but for the Northern Ireland economy as a whole.
“It is a privilege to welcome NW200 enthusiasts to the hotel – people who are keen to soak up the adrenalin fueled atmosphere.”
Mervyn Whyte MBE is delighted to have Bayview Hotel on board as a sponsor.
He said: “In attracting race fans and visitors to the North Coast our races return the support we get from local businesses and the Causeway Coast and Glens Council every year. It is a partnership that benefits everyone- the races, the local borough and Northern Ireland as a whole and we are very grateful to have the Bayview Hotel’s support for 2017.”
Trevor Kane has a long history of supporting motorcycle racing through sponsorship of the Armoy races and William Dunlop in particular. He added: “With sporting exposure for Northern Ireland on the increase we have established ourselves as one of the best places to successfully host major events such as the North West 200. Each year the event continues to grow and with the introduction of live streaming the races are beamed to a larger audience than ever showcasing our beautiful coastline worldwide.”
