My Department's role in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national tourism policy and the implementation of that policy is a matter for the tourism agencies, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, as well as certain other bodies.
Tourism Ireland is the body responsible for marketing the island of Ireland overseas as a leading holiday destination. It undertook an extensive and targeted programme of marketing activity throughout 2023 to promote the island of Ireland in the United States.
With regard to the particular matter of plans for the US market in 2024, the Deputy will be aware that this is an operational matter for Tourism Ireland. I have referred the Deputy's question to Tourism Ireland and asked them to reply directly to the Deputy with further information on this matter. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
