Mr Niall Gibbons , CEO Tourism Ireland
28 September 2022 – Welcoming the additional funding allocated to Tourism Ireland in Budget 2023, Niall Gibbons, Chief Executive of Tourism Ireland, said: “We very much welcome the €15 million increase in the Tourism Marketing Fund for next year, allocated in Budget 2023, which demonstrates the Government’s continued commitment to Irish tourism in these challenging times. As we continue and consolidate the recovery in tourism from overseas, this additional funding will allow Tourism Ireland to ‘put our best foot forward’ and roll out a really strong programme of promotions throughout 2023. The additional investment will allow us to upweight our campaigns in our international markets, punch through the noise and convert ‘lookers’ to ‘bookers’. We look forward to continuing to work with our tourism industry partners, to build a long-term sustainable recovery for our industry.”
