Editor’s Welcome
Fáilte go hÉireann - welcome to Ireland and to the March 2019 edition of Go Wild Tourism, which
celebrates all that is magnificent, breathtaking and entertaining along the Wild Atlantic Way.
We are delighted to be back, bigger and better for 2019, gratefully clutching another award – Best Food & Tourism Publisher 2019 – and our thanks to all at EU Business News for the recognition.
I must own up. I am a child of the Wild Atlantic Way, growing up with salty air and crashing waves on my doorstep right at the start of the famed trail in Kinsale, County Cork. So, I guess that makes me both lucky and biased, for it would take some work to persuade me that there is a more beautiful country in the world - especially when the sun shines!
Ireland broke all records for tourist numbers in 2018, with more than 10.6 million people making the journey to our shores. Yes, Brexit poses challenges and uncertainties for 2019, but our celebrated status as a world class destination remains intact and another bumper year is coming up.
Our ideas at Go Wild HQ are always huge but the concept remains simple – we aim to produce a guide to all that is wonderful along the Wild Atlantic Way, nudging you gently to the not-to-be-missed sights, the best eateries and the secret gems.
Bring us home with you and show your friends just how good it really is. We want to share our small beautiful nation with the world; for you will always be sure of a warm welcome and a great time. I hope a flick through Go Wild will inspire you, so that Ireland might delight you. Have a fantastic stay,
