Campaign Looks To Have Wicklow Named As Best Place To Holiday In Ireland

Details of the search for ‘The Best Place to Holiday in Ireland’ 2022 have been announced.

The 5 counties with just a single nomination are:  Kildare, Kilkenny, Longford Roscommon and Wicklow.

Wherever your favourite holiday destination is on the island of Ireland – be it a town, village, city, island, or distinct region - it has a chance to secure the coveted title of ‘The Best Place to Holiday in Ireland’. 

To be in with a chance to claim the title all you have to do is write a short submission explaining what makes it a special holiday destination.

The initiative which has been launched by The Irish Times in association with Fáilte Ireland will see the nominated locations judged on a range of criteria including natural amenities, built environment, sustainability, tourism services, diversity, a welcome for outsiders, transport links, accommodation supply, cost and of course their X factor.

Anyone can enter by writing a short pitch about their favourite place to holiday in Ireland – no longer than 300 words – stating why you think it should win. To nominate go to www.irishtimes.com/bestplace
