They’re the welcoming committee who help preserve Ireland’s reputation as a friendly place — the tourism industry workers personally responsible for our Céad Mile Fáilte. With more than 11.2m visitors to Ireland in 2018, spending over €6.1bn, knowing what sets us apart as a tourist destination makes economic as well as social sense.
