Dublin Tourism

Dublin Tourism was established by Bord Failte, (now Failte Ireland) as the agency with responsibility for the servicing, development and promotion of tourism in the Dublin Region. Dublin Tourism is a state appointed commercial agency and the only regional tourist authority in Ireland.

The principal mission of the authority is to enhance Dublin’s economy through tourism development by marketing the Dublin region on a world wide basis, as a premier destination for the business and leisure traveller. As a result Dublin Tourism promotes a range of products within the tourism industry. These include hotels, museums, attractions, tours, concerts, and events. Dublin based tourism companies are offered the opportunity to become partners, so that they may advertise within Dublin Tourism offices. There are a host of Dublin Tourism partners, such as Pat Liddys Walking Tours, Viking Splash Tours and Walkabout Wicklow, all of whom offer Day Tours from Dublin City.

During 2007, Dublin attracted 5.575 million visitors in total.

Dublin Tourism operates a network of 4 Tourist Information Offices and 5 Visitor Attractions throughout the Dublin region.
