Fermanagh features prominently on Tourism Ireland’s international website, Ireland.com, which attracted more than 23 million unique views in 2019. The Fermanagh Lakelands scenery and attractions are also highlighted through Tourism Ireland’s social media platforms, including Facebook (Tourism Ireland has around 4.7 million fans worldwide), Instagram (over 1.1 million followers), Twitter (around 553,000 followers) and YouTube.


Tourism Ireland is rolling out a new ‘twinning’ initiative this year, which involves overseas markets ‘twinning with’ a specific region or area on the island of Ireland. Germany is ‘twinning’ with County Fermanagh, as well as with Sligo and Mayo, so Tourism Ireland in Germany is placing a special focus on those counties in 2022.
