Ahh Ireland! I have always wanted to visit your lovely shores and this video narrated by Liam Neeson certainly whets that appetite!
“I’m delighted to be helping Tourism Ireland celebrate St Patrick’s Day. It will be wonderful to see the world turn green again on 17 March as nations come together to celebrate the fun and warmth of the Irish.” ~ said Neeson
Created by Tourism Ireland to encourage travelers to visit Ireland this year, the video includes wonderful Irish scenery and blends into the mix superb images from Tourism Ireland’s Global Greening initiative – those famous landmarks and iconic sites illuminated in green each year to celebrate St Patrick’s Day.
To mark and celebrate St Patrick’s Day, on March 17th, well known attractions and sites across the globe will take part in the Global Greening initiative. Major landmarks in Rome, Rio, London and Las Vegas will be illuminated in green. These sites include the likes of the Colosseum, the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris, the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, the ‘Welcome’ sign in Las Vegas and even the Equator Sign and Line in Uganda!
No small wonder that Ireland boasts a robust travel industry that welcomed around 8.6 million overseas visitors in 2014 accounting for 59% of all tourism revenue and employing approximately 200,000 people.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day Ireland! What fun!!
