Discoverireland.ie has been named global winner in the Kentico “Site of the Year” contest. Discoverireland.ie also took the top spot in the Best Travel Site category.

Belfast Ireland-based Tibus is the digital firm behind the development of the Discoverireland.ie platform. In the Kentico awards themselves it was up to the public to decide the winner.

Ireland’s national tourism body Fáilte Ireland engaged Tibus to come up with a “compelling” website to showcase Ireland and help people plan a holiday on the island, said Rick McKee, MD, Tibus, today.

Some of the unique features of the interactive Discoverireland.ie site include ‘My Discoveries’ and ‘Trip Planner’ to help visitors plan their trips.
