Fáilte Ireland: Survey of tourists

A SURVEY by a leading American travel magazine proves that Céad Míle Fáilte is not just a tired cliché but a fact.

Three Irish cities – Galway, Dublin and Cork – have made it into the top four friendliest cities in the world in the annual reader survey of Travel + Leisure which is based in New York. Galway is in first position, with Dublin and Cork coming in third and fourth place respectively.

The magazine is a major influencer of public opinion among Americans who holiday abroad and being seen to be friendly is hugely important to their travel experience.
