Armagh Launches New Tourism Campaign

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon ​​Borough Council have launched a campaign to drive visitors to Armagh and the wider borough this spring.

Details

The spring program aims to generate demand among audiences across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and further afield, driving visitor bookings for short breaks, day trips and longer stays.

The new “Spring into Armagh” promotional campaign will demonstrate Armagh’s appeal as a destination and showcase its assets through a digital-led campaign comprising social media, e-marketing, digital advertising, partnership promotions and a range of out of home advertising coming over the weeks.

Supported by council cooperative funding from Tourism Northern Ireland, Visit Armagh’s spring offering complements its wider “Embrace a Giant Spirit” campaign, which focuses on promoting the borough’s tourism destinations, including the Game of Thrones Studio Tour in Banbridge.
