Following the announcement that County Donegal was named as
the ‘Coolest Place on the Planet 2017’ by National Geographic, the team at
Donegal Tourism CLG made contact with National Geographic Traveller to explore
potential marketing opportunities that would maximise the exposure Donegal
would receive as a result of this prestigious title.
As a result, the 20-page travel supplement dedicated to
Donegal and included in the September 2017 issue of National GeographicTraveller is just one of the elements of an extensive marketing campaign that
is ongoing with National Geographic Traveller working closely with the Donegal
Tourism CLG team.
The Donegal travel supplement was developed by Donegal
Tourism Staff, Managing Director and Publisher, Matthew Jackson, Editor
Stephanie Cavagnaro, travel writer Zoë McIntyre and photographer Alecsandra
Raluca Dragoi.
In addition to online marketing activity where articles
about Donegal will feature on the National Geographic Traveller blog and social
media, in September 2017 the Donegal Tourism CLG team will travel to London to
attend a very special online event hosted by National Geographic Traveller.
This is an online live event where representatives from various regions around
the world will come together to discuss their destination with a panel of
experts. This is a very exciting opportunity to showcase Donegal.
A special thank you also to Zoë for writing with such
passion about Donegal and to Alecsandra for capturing the most stunning photos
of our beautiful county and for the wonderful representation of the various
people that they encountered on their journey. The Donegal supplement is a fine
example of the result of their attention to detail and professional work.
