New tourist office opened in Dublin

Travellers catching ferries to Dublin to embark on an exploration of Ireland can now visit a new tourist information centre in the capital.

The Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB) office was opened by tourism minister Arlene Foster yesterday (July 9th).

Based on Suffolk Street in Dublin city centre, the facility has been designed to be accessible and informative for domestic and international visitors.

Ms Foster said that almost one million people are expected to make use of the information centre each year, compared to the 14,500 tourists who visited the office at its previous location on Nassau Street.

She added: "The new NITB office in Dublin, which is a gateway city for tourists, will give us greater access to significantly more potential visitors who wish to add Northern Ireland to their holiday itinerary."

Travellers can get to Ireland by using the Liverpool to Dublin ferry route operated by P&O Ferries and Norfolkline Irish Sea or by catching ferries to Dublin from Holyhead with Irish Ferries or Stena Line.

For those planning to head straight to Northern Ireland, Stena Line offers ferries to Belfast from Stranraer and also sails from Fleetwood to Larne.
