Each year, the Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau recognizes people and/or organizations for living the Irish attitude and embracing the destination brand.
This year’s recipients are Dublin’s Director of Community Relations, Sandra Puskarcik, for working to establish and build the brand throughout the community; Homewood Suites, for its “Irish is an Attitude” Getaway Package that includes an Irish-themed gift basket comprised of local, Irish-approved products; and Dublin Life Magazine for featuring Irish-themed stories and photos throughout the past year.
To win, the individual or business must be located in Dublin and attract visitors and attention while promoting Dublin.
“Dublin’s destination brand is not simply a campaign theme or positioning line,” says Scott Dring, executive director at the Dublin Convention & Visitors Bureau. “It is an expression of a compelling, unique experience that Dublin offers potential visitors.”
Winners will be highlighted in the CVB’s planning guide and other promotional materials.
Comhghairdeas – congratulations!
