Cork's Jameson Experience honoured for tourism boost

The Jameson Experience in east Cork and the team behind UCC’s year-long George Boole celebrations were among those honoured last night for helping to generate more than €10m in conference and tourism business in Cork this year.

The visitor experience at the Midleton distillery, which will welcome more than 125,000 visitors this year, was named the region’s ultimate ambassador. UCC won a special academic award for its work on the George Boole 200 commemorations — with its conferences and seminars generating an estimated €1m — as the Cork Convention Bureau toasted Cork’s ambassadors.
