Tourism is one of our most important sectors. In 2019, we welcomed 11.3 million overseas visitors to the island of Ireland.
Ireland's main tourist attractions include its stunning scenery, rich cultural heritage, fresh and innovative cuisine, friendly people, and relaxed way of life. It is also a popular location for sporting enthusiasts with numerous golf courses, as well as fishing, cycling, riding, hiking, water sports, and other activities.
