Gathering Gestures

Throughout 2013, we want to ensure that all visitors to Ireland experience a unique welcome that will not only meet, but also far exceed, their expectations.


To do this, we are encouraging you, the tourism industry, to create a “Gathering Gesture” enabling you to extend an extra special welcome to overseas visitors in 2013.

A Gathering Gesture is:

  1. - a token of appreciation for overseas visitors in 2013
  2. - an opportunity to offer added value to the Ireland experience
  3. - an opportunity to make visitors feel extra special during 2013

So for example:

  1. Thank your visitors with a complimentary cocktail/mocktail during their stay in 2013

  2. Extend a special Gathering Ireland welcome with complimentary tea/coffee & home baking 

  3. Reward your visitors with a special gift/souvenir during 2013

Gathering Gestures will be collected and presented on a Gathering Gesture App (iPhone and Android versions) which will be available for international download. Find our more and be part of it.
