Nordic Visitors
Ten tour operators from Denmark, Finland and Norway have been visiting Ireland, as guests of Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland.
Tourism Ireland aims to familiarise them with our tourism offering.
The tour operators’ itinerary included a walking tour of Westport, the National Museum of Ireland at Turlough Park, as well as the National Surf Centre and WB Yeats’ grave at Drumcliffe in Sligo. The group also enjoyed seaweed foraging with Prannie Rhatigan’s Irish Seaweed Kitchen, a sheepdog demonstration with Atlantic Sheepdogs and an evening of traditional music and dance at The Merry Ploughboy in Dublin.
Sarah Dee, Tourism Ireland’s Manager for the Nordic Region, said: "Seeing is believing – and our aim is that when they return home, they will be even more enthusiastic about the destination, helping to secure a greater share of their business for Ireland."
