Irish Culture

Ireland is an amazing destination for many tourists that wish to explore a new country, and as much of 5% of the country’s revenue in most years. While Dublin is the capital city of the Republic of Ireland, there are many other historical, cultural, and social places that tourists can, and should, visit to enjoy everything that the country has to offer. Many Irish Americans can trace their ancestry here as many people had fled the country during the Irish potato famine, so many people in Ireland are often very welcoming and eager to meet those with Irish heritage. Also, in the Republic of Ireland and North Ireland, “there was […] a long history of cooperation and close ties between the members of the respective tourist bodies of [both] on which to base future collaboration” (Zuelow), where in general there is a lot of tension between the two countries.There are also several ways to experience the rich culture of Ireland, with many tours, agencies, and coach busses available to assist tourists on their first time in the country. In one study done for the journal, Practicing Anthropology, a researcher found that “bus drivers in the study [were] overwhelmingly well-trained, compassionate, entertaining, forgiving, organized, knowledgeable, and excellent at the business of driving buses” (Costa). With various cities and small towns to visit many tourists can find a variety of ways to spend their time. From the capital city of Dublin, the Cliffs of Moher off the western coast, and many other sights to see, the Republic of Ireland has an amazing culture to explore.
