Dublin Tourism

Dublin Tourism was established by Bord Fáilte, (now Fáilte Ireland), as the agency with responsibility for the servicing, development and promotion of tourism in the Dublin Region. Dublin Tourism is a state appointed commercial agency and the only regional tourist authority in Ireland.

The principal mission of the authority is to "enhance Dublin’s economy through tourism development by marketing the Dublin region on a worldwide basis, as a premier destination for the business and leisure traveller". Dublin Tourism promotes a range of products within the tourism industry, including hotels, museums, attractions, tours, concerts, and events. There are a number of Dublin Tourism partners, such as Pat Liddy's Walking Tours, Viking Splash Tours and Walkabout Wicklow, all of whom offer day tours from Dublin. Dublin Tourism also operates four tourist information offices and several visitor attractions itself.

During 2007, Dublin attracted 5.575 million visitors in total.
