The episodes will be seen by millions of people across the United States, shining a spotlight on some of the many things to see and do here and encouraging American holidaymakers to put Ireland on their vacation 'wish-list' for 2023."
Additional Information
Tourism Ireland is rolling out a new "twinning" initiative in 2022, which involves each overseas market "twinning" with a specific region or area on the island of Ireland - placing a special focus on the area. The United States is twinned with Limerick and Clare and with the Causeway Coastal Route. Brown's visit is an opportunity to secure positive coverage about these "twinned" areas.
