On behalf of the team , I am excited to present our new Destination Ireland Guide for Autumn 2022 .
Domestic tourism has boomed in Ireland over the last few years , aided by international travel concerns and an overwhelming desire get out and explore the Island of Ireland . Staycations were hugely popular and Failte Ireland ’ s campaigns presented wonderful new ideas .
Although the wind has shifted somewhat with international borders reopening , domestic tourism remains strong and I would encourage all to “ Keep Discovering ” this Autumn .
This edition is filled with exciting ideas for your next day trip of weekend break in Ireland , including a travel feature article by journalist Karl Doyle , who recently returned from his ‘ holliers ’ in Ireland ’ s ‘ Sunny South East ’.
Enjoy the Guide and Keep Discovering our lovely Island ,
Kathy .
