Seven travel journalists from Australia and New Zealand have been exploring Galway as guests of Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland.
The trip is designed to showcase some of the many luxury and sustainable tourism experiences available to the visiting journalists, as well as to highlight our rich culture and heritage, spectacular scenery and fantastic food and drink.
The group has been following an action-packed itinerary, which includes a visit to Kylemore Abbey. The journalists had lunch in Lough Inagh Lodge Hotel and dinner in Éan, and they also stayed overnight at Ballynahinch Castle and The Hardiman Hotel.
Sofia Hansson, Tourism Ireland’s Manager for Australia and New Zealand, said they were delighted to invite the group of influential travel journalists to visit Ireland.
“Through their articles, the journalists will inspire their readers to come and experience our beautiful scenery and activities for themselves,” said Sofia
“Tourism Ireland undertakes a busy publicity programme around the world each year to raise the profile of Ireland – and visits by influential travel writers like these are a key element of that programme.”
