In 2016, Ireland welcomed over 200,000 Canadian visitors. And according to Dana Welch, manager, Canada with Tourism Ireland, one-third of Canadian visitors have arrived by way of tour operators like Insight Vacations.

“We continue to see a record number of Canadians visiting the Emerald Isle, so we are happy to be partnering with Insight Vacations to help agents bring travellers to the best sights in Ireland,” she said. “We are truly appreciative of this collaboration.”

Cris David, president, Insight Vacations Canada, added: “Ireland continues to be one of our most popular destinations among Canadian travellers.
