Newgrange will be highlighted in Tourism Ireland’s new 2016 ad campaign for Ireland’s Ancient East.
Tourism Ireland will kick off 2016 with the roll-out of a brand new online ad highlighting our latest tourism experience, Ireland’s Ancient East. The ad will launch in January, in the 23 markets in which Tourism Ireland has a presence – reaching millions of prospective holidaymakers worldwide. Filming for the ad took place this autumn – at Newgrange, as well as at Castletown House, Glendalough, Kilkenny Castle, Waterford City and the Rock of Cashel. As well as the online ad, a specially created Ireland’s Ancient East page will feature on Tourism Ireland’s international website, Ireland.com, which has attracted about 16.5 million visitors this year; and social media will also help to spread the word about this part of Ireland.
Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland, said: “Following a successful 2015, ambitious targets have been set again for 2016, which will see Ireland welcome 8.2 million visitors, representing growth of +4% over 2015. Early next year, we will unveil our Ireland’s Ancient East campaign around the world, which will play an important part in our extensive overseas marketing programme for 2016.”
