About the Boston Irish Tourism Association 

The Boston Irish Tourism Association (BITA) was formed in 2000 to market the vibrant Irish-American community in Massachusetts and New England, especially its culture, heritage, and small businesses. BITA's goal was to connect the Irish-American grassroots community with the state's tourism and hospitality industries so that year round cultural events could be enjoyed by visitors, conventioneers, business travelers and tour groups coming to Massachusetts. The result has been to make it easy for visitors – and local residents – to get immersed in the state’s wonderful range of cultural activities, and to take advantage of the hospitality amenities available to travelers.

BITA also promotes travel to the island of Ireland year round.
