Cobh extends a very special welcome to visitors from China

A Cork harbourside town has become the first in Ireland to create a specific welcome programme for Chinese visitors, which will be recognised by all tour operators in China.

Cobh, which has already capitalised on cruise ship tourism, has turned its attention to the Far East and has just been awarded a Chinese Tourist Welcome Certification.

The town already attracts Chinese visitors but wanted to bring its offering to the next level to entice even more.
