Search Results for 'Tourism Ireland'

Tourism Ireland has launched a nationwide search for a number of individuals or couples to star in a series of short online movies to help market the island of Ireland overseas and attract more visitors in 2009 and beyond.

A new tourism initiative, promoting great value deals for holidays in the west of Ireland, reached some one million newspaper readers around Great Britain at the weekend.

“The dramatic decline recorded in overseas visitors lays bare the decimated state of our tourism industry this year. These figures compel the Government and the tourism agencies to take immediate, radical and creative action to reverse this downward trend,” so said Joe O’Brien, Chairman of Irish Hotels Federation’s Midlands Branch in response to the 18.4 per cent decline in overseas visits, during May, reported today by the CSO.

Ireland’s traditional hospitality that has attracted overseas visitors has waned over the last six years, according to figures released by Tourism Ireland.
