Leading Austrian journalists discover Dublin and Wicklow

Seven journalists from Austria – with a combined audience of around 4 million across various print and online publications – are exploring Ireland this week, as guests of Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland.

The group’s itinerary began with a Dublin city food tour with Walking Food Tours. They continued to Wicklow, where they visited Powerscourt Estate, Powerscourt Distillery, Enniskerry and Glendalough. The journalists enjoyed a guided e-bike tour of Ballinastoe Woods and visits to Avoca Mill, Beyond the Trees Avondale and Killruddery House & Gardens. 

Nadine Lehmann, Tourism Ireland’s Manager for DACH countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), said: “Tourism Ireland was delighted to invite these influential Austrian journalists to discover first-hand the amazing experiences on offer in Dublin and Wicklow. Through the articles and content they create and share, the journalists will inspire their audiences to come and experience Ireland for themselves.”
