Ireland voted the most desirable Island Destination in Europe

Wanderlust, a popular travel magazine in Britain, determines its annual award winners through a process involving an independent panel of judges and its readers.

Defending its position for another year, Ireland triumphed in the ‘Most Desirable Island Destination in Europe’ category, surpassing strong contenders such as Malta, Sicily, Hvar, Crete, Jersey and Menorca.

Wanderlust confirmed, “For the second year in a row, Ireland has emerged as the Most Desirable Island in Europe, encompassing Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the Emerald Island offers a plethora of adventures for any traveler.”

Siobhan McManamy, Director of Markets at Tourism Ireland, expressed delight at Ireland’s recurring recognition, stating, “We are thrilled that Ireland has once again been singled out for this prestigious award. Looking ahead to 2024, this recognition is exceptionally positive news.”

She added, “Accolades like this serve to spotlight Ireland for all the right reasons, especially in a time when travelers have an abundance of choices. It is more crucial than ever for us to ensure that Ireland stands out among other destinations.”
