St Patrick’s Day offers a unique opportunity for Ireland and Irish tourism. Tourism Ireland is rolling out an extensive programme of trade, media and consumer activity to capitalise on Ireland’s heightened profile this week. The organisation’s ‘Fill your heart with Ireland’ campaign, featuring Derry Girls and Sharon Horgan, is live across media this spring, with a goal of driving consideration of Ireland as a destination to visit. In addition, Tourism Ireland has a new St Patrick’s Day short video to mark the moment with audiences across Great Britain, the United States, Germany and France, as well as broader social media audiences around the world.
