Eight tour operators from Australia and New Zealand have been visiting Ireland this week, as guests of Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland.

The visiting tour operators are important partners for Tourism Ireland, bringing valuable visitors from Australia and New Zealand to Ireland each year. Tourism Ireland aims to familiarise them with our superb tourism offering, to ensure Ireland features prominently in their programmes.

The tour operators’ itinerary included a visit to Donegal Castle and an overnight stay in Lough Eske Castle.

Sofia Hansson, Tourism Ireland’s Manager for Australia and New Zealand, said: “We’re delighted these influential tour operators from Australia and New Zealand have taken the time to come and experience Ireland’s superb tourism offering – including our rich cultural and historical experiences – and see for themselves what Ireland has to offer their clients. It’s a great opportunity to familiarise them with the destination for consideration in their future programmes”.
