‘Ambassadors’ to welcome visitors in tourism revival

AN innovative new tourism project is planning on making Dublin the only city in the world where locals will literally queue up to welcome visitors.

Launched yesterday, City of a Thousand Welcomes offers tourists the opportunity to meet like-minded locals and tap into valuable insider knowledge.

The project is hoping to use Dublin’s reputation for offering a warm welcome with a format that makes sharing a pint or a cuppa with a Dubliner a certainty, rather than a hope, for thousands of tourists each year.
