A group of top Australian Travelscene American Express travel agents from Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales travelled to Ireland this month on a week-long tour of some of the most exciting attractions that Ireland’s East Coast has to offer.
The trip was in conjunction with Tourism Ireland, Travelscene American Express and Etihad Airways. The agents won their seats on the trip as they were the among the top Etihad sellers in Australia.
One of the highlights of their trip was the opportunity to visit Ireland’s National Stud and Japanese Gardens in County Kildare. During a tour of the Stud Farm the agents had the change to get up close and personal with some of the farms equine superstars including Vintage Crop who won the Melbourne Cup in 1993. They also took a guided walk of the World Famous Japanese Gardens and Wild Irish St. Fiachra’s Garden.
Other highlights included a visit to Kilkenny Castle, Glendalough in Co. Wicklow and very memorable trip to Croke Park where the agents were lucky enough to watch an exhilarating and unforgettable Hurling match (the fastest field sport in the world); they also visited the GAA museum and had a tour of the newly opened Etihad Skyline where they took in breathtaking views of the entire city of Dublin.
