German Media on Tour
Eight travel journalists from Germany have been visiting Ireland’s Ancient East as guests of Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland.
The journalists write for a mix of newspapers and magazines, with a combined audience of 2.4 million across Germany. Their itinerary included a boat trip on the river Nore through Kilkenny, a guided tour of Kilkenny Castle and a visit to Smithwick’s Experience Kilkenny, as well as a walking tour of Waterford, visits to Lismore Castle Gardens and Mount Congreve Gardens, and a cycle along the Waterford Greenway. They also enjoyed a guided cliff walk in Dunmore East, a tour of Hook Lighthouse and a visit to The Irish National Heritage Park.
Nadine Lehmann, Tourism Ireland’s Manager Germany, said: “We were delighted to invite this group of German travel journalists to explore Ireland’s Ancient East. The articles they write will reach around 2.4 million people across Germany.”
