 Dear

We hope that the information found on this site will inspire you to continue to spread the good news about the wealth of vacation experiences the island of Ireland has to offer our friends and visitors from the United States.
The team here at Tourism Ireland thanks you for your ongoing support – it is greatly valued.
Tourism to the island of Ireland from the US will reach its highest ever level this year, thanks to your efforts together with those of many partners and satisfied visitors who encourage friends to discover the island of Ireland for themselves.
I am glad to say the tourism industry in Ireland is not resting on its laurels. Continued investment and expansion means that Ireland today has more to offer American visitors than ever before – and the Irish welcome afforded to visitors from America is warmer than ever.
Again, sincere thanks for your interest and support – we are at your service to help you encourage your audiences to discover the island of Ireland.
Sincerely,
