rom the breathtaking coastlines of the Wild Atlantic Way to the historical
castles of the ancient east, the island of Ireland knows how to charm all year round. The destination lifted Covid

driving the coast, exploring the cities or indulging in a hearty Irish meal, there’s no time like the present to press the green button and book your clients’ trips. The island of Ireland is segmented into five experience brands: The Wild Atlantic Way; Northern Ireland: Embrace a Giant Spirit; Ireland’s Ancient East; The Hidden Heartlands; and Dublin: Surprising by Nature. Here, we round up what is unique about each one.
THE WILD ATLANTIC WAY Stretching 1,600 miles along the west coast, this signposted driving route takes in some of Ireland’s most dramatic landscapes – classic villages, towering mountains, sandy beaches and craggy cliffs.
