Tourism Ireland has scooped the top prize for ‘best tourist board website’ at the French hospitality industry’s ‘Les Travel d’Or’ awards.

Beating off stiff competition from 48 other destination websites, the Tourism Ireland site, Ireland.com, was voted joint number one (with Reunion Island Tourism) for its winning appeal and content by an impressive 146,000 internet users from around France and a panel of web and travel industry experts.
This is the third time that Tourism Ireland has won a Travel d’Or award, which are considered the Oscars of the e-tourism industry in France, rewarding excellence in the digital sphere (the company also won in 2011 and 2012).
Ireland.com is available in ten different language versions for more than 30 individual markets around the world. In 2014, Ireland.com attracted about 14.25 million visitors.
