What’s the Craic! St Patrick’s Day in Ireland is “mad yoke’ and everyone needs to “cop on” and experience it for themselves.
Eight top performing travel agents* from around Australia did exactly that and have just returned from Ireland, after winning their way on board the Globus family of brands (GFOB) trade booking incentive famil in partnership with Tourism Ireland.
The bestselling seven-day Globus Irish Escape tour took in all the highlights of the Emerald Isle from the Cliffs of Moher to downtown Dublin, including a visit to John Meade pub to join in St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, including the official street parade which featured marching bands from around the world, performers, dancers and decorated floats.
The Irish Escapes tour is the top selling out of the 28 tours offered as part of Globus’s off-season Escapes program, showcasing a range of countries and their key sights at special shoulder season prices.
The group was hosted by Globus Business Development Manager (Queensland West/South) Anji Tierney, who said the entire tour offered non-stop high spirited Irish fun.
“It was terrific for our top agents to get firsthand experience of all that Ireland has to offer, from visiting landmarks like the Blarney Stone to sipping Irish coffee and witnessing the spectacle that is St Patrick’s Day in the Irish capital.
“Our group was serenaded with live music at the John Meade pub which legally opened in 1705 but actually started serving its first drinks 20 years earlier in 1685. Ireland has so many incredible old tales and in Killarney we had a taste of nostalgia with a wonderful horse-drawn carriage ride to the castle.
“With its stunning landscapes, warm hospitality, rich history, cosy pubs and vibing culture, it’s no wonder Globus bookings on the Irish Escapes tour have doubled since pre-pandemic.”
To give advisors another reason to book their clients on an off-season tour, Globus is also waiving the single supplement on select 2025/2026 Globus Escapes Europe tours until 1 May 2025**.
