The Wild Atlantic Way has been named a ‘Best International Self-Drive Route’, at an awards ceremony in Shanghai
The Wild Atlantic Way has been named a ‘Best International Self-Drive Route’, at an awards ceremony in Shanghai this week.
The awards were organised by HuiZuChe, a car rental portal and one of the top travel companies in China offering self-drive holidays. The Wild Atlantic Way was one of the destinations listed in the ‘Best International Self-Drive Route’ category – in good company with the likes of other driving routes in Sweden, Malaysia, Tasmania, California and Florida, to take the number one spot. The winning routes were chosen by about 10 million Chinese travellers, who voted through an online system.
Accepting the award, James Kenny, Tourism Ireland’s Manager China, said: “Chinese travellers have so much choice nowadays, which makes it more important than ever for us to ensure that the island of Ireland really stands out from other destinations – so this award is really good news as we roll out our busy promotional drive for 2017.”
Tourism Ireland has offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu. As well as working closely with Chinese travel and lifestyle journalists, the organisation also undertakes co-operative promotions with key partners – including airlines and the travel trade.
