WORLD TOURISM DAY 2024💫

World Tourism Day is a global event dedicated to celebrating the significance of tourism in promoting cultural exchange, economic development and international understanding🫶

At the Giant's Causeway, we are so proud of all of our partners, like Tourism Ireland and Tourism Northern Ireland and Visit Causeway Coast and Glens, as well as all the local businesses, including Away A Wee Walk, Dalriada Kingdom Tours, Bushmills Irish Whiskey and Aquaholics, who help us not only to attract visitors from all over the world, but also give them a first-class, GIANT welcome💚

We'd also like to express thanks to our committed, hard-working staff and volunteers as they strive day-in and day-out to ensure that our visitors have an enjoyable, unforgettable experience👏

This morning, Senior Marketing and Communications Officer, Jennifer and Experience and Visitor Programming Assistant, Georgia met with Dr Peter Bolan, a Senior Lecturer and Course Director for the International Travel and Tourism Management (ITTM) course at Ulster University🤝

Ulster University strive in making sure that the next generation of tourism providers are completing their degree with the knowledge and expertise they need to take tourism forward.

Georgia came to the Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge - National Trust as a Placement Student on the ITTM course in June 2022, and is now working alongside Jennifer in Marketing and Communications.

A timely reminder on World Tourism Day, that together we are stronger and collaboration is key in safeguarding the future of tourism🫶

There are lots of amazing things about the Clifftop Experience at the Giant’s Causeway but climbing DOWN 162 Shepherd’s Steps near the end of a stunning 5 mile cliff hike in the knowledge that you DO NOT have to climb back up them is right up there with the best of it… 🙌🙌🙌🤩🤩🤩😜🥾🥾

And now look who’s 11. 🎉🥾🥾🎉🤩

Just incredible to be in our 12th season of showcasing the stunning Causeway Coast to our guests from around the world. ☘️

I can’t quite believe it at times. It’s such a privilege.

Massive thanks to everyone for all your support. The travel and hospitality trade, the tourism boards, my fellow adventure tourism colleagues and fellow tour guides, drivers etc. 🙌🙌🙌

And thanks too to our customers, friends and family for all your support.

Finally, I simply couldn’t run the number of tours today without the passion, dedication and commitment of a super team of guides - to Paul, Gavin, Rozzy and Michael ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THANK YOU …. I think we have a combined 43 seasons guiding between us!!!!

We love it ☘️

What a way to convey scale at the Giant’s Organ near the end of our Clifftop Experience.

The Clifftop experience involves approaching the Causeway stones from the opposite direction as everyone else. We reach the Organ after descending the 162 Shepherd’s Steps but before reaching the main site at the Grand Causeway at the end of the cliff hike.



Book the Clifftop Experience via the link in our bio or directly on the Giant’s Causeway National Trust website.

No wonder Mother Nature provides days like this very sparingly! 😲☘️❤️.

A lovely wee shout out today from the National Trust The Giant's Causeway. We’ve been enjoying the company of a pod of dolphins this week too…. 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬

Do you plan to visit the Giant's Causeway this Summer, but you're looking for something a little bit different?🤔Look no further than our partners at Away A Wee Walk!

We think it's about time we put a face to the name behind the operations - meet Eimear!👋

Living in the desert heat of the Middle East made Eimear miss the breath-taking scenery and green grass of home💚

With a keen interest in the growing tourism in Northern Ireland, Eimear was inspired to showcase one of the most scenic sections of the Causeway Coast. From happy childhood memories swimming in the Dunseverick rockpools, Eimear knew that the cliffs to the east of the Causeway stones were exceptionally beautiful, but often missed by visitors.

Now in it's 11th season, Away A Wee Walk offers fully-guided, 5-mile hiking experiences from Dunseverick Castle, along the stunning Causeway cliffs and finishing off on the world-famous stones! Tours depart daily during March - October at 11:15am from within the Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre🚶‍♀️

If you'd like to experience the Giant's Causeway like never before, with rarely seen views that are sure to leave you speechless, head over to our website to find out more👉https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/northern-ireland/giants-causeway/giants-causeway-clifftop-experience

Please ensure to pre-book well in advance to allow the team to prepare for your arrival☺️

Picture yourself standing here on a warm summer's day. The floral scent of blossoming flowers and the serene lapping of the waves as you stare out, past the jagged cliffs, onto the ocean. How perfect does this sound?

I need your help again lovely peeps - especially those of you who have walked the cliffs at the Causeway with us. I’m looking for a great catchy strapline that accurately describes it and would entice you to book it.

It’s 5 miles
It’s the full UNESCO coastline
It’s the bit most people miss
It’s stunning etc…

Just ONE short sentence that will be in addition to ‘Giant’s Causeway cliff walk’.
It needs to be descriptive of what the tour is….

Comment below and ‘like’ your favourites…



Thank you. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
