Seven travel journalists from Australia and New Zealand have been exploring Mayo as guests of Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland.
The aim of the trip is to showcase some of the many luxury and sustainable tourism experiences available here 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 The Connacht Distillery and a cycle along the Great Western Greenway. The journalists also had lunch in The Waterfront Bar and Bistro at Mulranny Park Hotel and stayed overnight at the Ice House Hotel.
Sofia Hansson, Tourism Ireland’s Manager for Australia and New Zealand, said: “Tourism Ireland was delighted to invite this group of influential travel journalists to visit Ireland, to come and sample some of our superb luxury and cultural experiences, as well as our wonderful food and drink offering."
