19th June 2024 – Travel journalists from Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland have been visiting County Kerry, as guests of Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland.
The journalists – who have a combined audience of over 630,000 readers across the Nordic countries – are here to experience our spectacular scenery, rich culture and heritage, as well as our fantastic food offering. They’re also finding out about environmentally friendly initiatives, including the introduction of the Killarney Coffee Cup Project last summer, which saw Killarney become the first town in Ireland to phase out single-use coffee cups. The articles and content the journalists produce will inspire their followers and readers to put Kerry and Ireland on their holiday ‘wish-list’.
