THREE Donegal locations are celebrating after being named winners at the CIE Tours International Awards.
Now in their 30th year, the Awards for Excellence recognise the best hotels and tourist attractions across Ireland based on feedback from over 25,000 customers throughout the year.
Each winner achieved a customer satisfaction rating of over 92 per-cent from CIE Tours International visitors with Gold Award Winners achieving the highest satisfaction ratings in their categories.
Donegal Castle, Glenveagh Castle and National Park and Slieve League Cliffs each received a Merit Award of Excellence for delivering an exceptional quality experience and welcome to tourists.
The honours were presented by Fiona Ross, Chairman and Elizabeth Crabill, Chief Executive Officer, CIE Tours International. In total 84 hotels and tourist attractions from across the island of Ireland won awards, with 13 overall category winners being awarded a Gold Award.
Speaking at the presentation of CIE Tours International Annual Awards of Excellence Elizabeth Crabill said, “The Irish holiday experience is unique and continues to grow in popularity, so much so that we’re launching new winter tour holidays to Ireland for the first time in 2020.
“This growth is driven in no small part by our tour partners, many of whom we are recognising tonight, who are continuously improving their offering. I warmly congratulate tonight’s winners from Donegal on their achievements and I thank all our partners who work closely with us throughout the year.”
