This route has captivated visitors and forged partnerships that have transformed the tourism industry in the west of #Ireland.

A big day for tourism today as we mark 10 years of the Wild Atlantic Way at #Meitheal2024, Ireland’s most important tourism trade event.

New report estimates that almost 2 million more tourists visited the region in 2023 than in 2013.
The Wild Atlantic Way drives €3billion in revenue per year, an increase of 58% in 10 years.

We had a really interesting tasting experience at Micil Distillery Salthill, Galway. 🥃 The family have been involved in distilling since 1848, when great-great-great grandfather, Micil Mac Chearra, began making poitín on a Connemara hillside! 🌄
