Tourism Ireland launches -One Break, Two Cities- campaign with VisitBritain

ATP-  Arab tourism portal- United Arab Emirates – Tourism Ireland and VisitBritain have joined together to announce an exciting new campaign, One Break, Two Cities. Giving fans of the UK and Ireland the chance to experience both destinations in one easy trip, the ‘One Break, Two Cities’ package makes an ideal twin centre hassle-free holiday for GCC visitors.

This package was developed to promote the Irish Short Stay Visa Waiver programme, which permits GCC travellers in possession of a valid UK ‘C’ general visa to enter Ireland without requiring an additional Irish visa. The campaign will encourage visitors to the UK to include Ireland as an add-on destination when making their travel plans.

‘With such a wide variety of things to see and do in Ireland and Great Britain it’s hard to settle on just one destination. The good news is that, with the flexible ‘One Break, Two Cities’ package visitors can easily combine two or more cities, across two countries, in one memorable holiday’ says, Amanda Burns, Tourism Ireland’s Regional Manager Middle East and Asia. ‘Visitors simply pick their city break based on our recommended three day itineraries for multiple cities across Ireland and Britain, giving them an easy and flexible holiday that is tailor-made to suit their personal tastes and interests.’

The ‘One break, Two Cities’ combinations feature any city in Ireland and Britain, including suggested routes such as Cardiff to Dublin, Edinburgh to Cork or London to Belfast.

‘With good airline connectivity from the GCC to the regional airports across Britain and to Ireland, it has become easier for GCC visitors to combine a Britain and Ireland holiday. The twin cities package offer a combination of British and Irish charm, culture, hospitality and unique experiences for both families and the adventurous millennial visitors from the GCC. This is a great value proposition for visitors who want to make their money go further. The cities also serve as a gateway to some of the award-winning and breath-taking countryside filled with pristine areas of outstanding natural beauty, a sought after experience for most visitors.’ Sumathi Ramanathan, Regional  Manager – Asia Pacific & Middle East.
