Group of influential travel writers sample two of Ireland's holiday destinations

A group of influential media from Germany, Spain and the US are in Ireland this week to experience two of our country's best tourism and gastronomy destinations - The Burren and West Waterford.

A showcase of seasonal and local produce will be provided for the journalists on the County Clare leg of the Wild Atlantic Way.

In West Waterford they will see first-hand why Ireland is becoming increasingly popular as a food destination.

Included in the visiting group is Frances Folsom who writes for the Boston Globe and Dallas Morning News, which have a combined circulation of more than two million.

The trip is organised by Fáilte Ireland, in conjunction with Tourism Ireland.
