Lonely Planet has selected eight attractions and experiences on the island of Ireland to feature in the latest edition of its Ultimate Travel List.
The second edition of Lonely Planet’s Ultimate Travel List, features its top 500 "most thrilling, memorable and interesting travel experiences in the world".
The list includes the Wild Atlantic Way at number 21, as well as the Giant’s Causeway, the Ring of Kerry, Connemara, Brú na Bóinne, Sliabh Liag, Titanic Belfast and Trinity College.
At a time when international visitors cannot travel here, Tourism Ireland said it is aiming to 'keep the lights on’ for the island of Ireland, to help attract prospective visitors for future holidays.
Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland, said he was delighted to hear the news.
"I would like to thank Lonely Planet for the wonderful support they have shown to Ireland over the years. In what has been a truly terrible year for travel and tourism, this accolade is some good news for overseas tourism to Ireland. It will help ensure that Ireland stays front-of-mind with prospective travellers around the world, until such time as they can visit again," he said.
