Tourism Ireland aims to increase the number of foreign visitors to 4.5 million by 2020, compared to three million in 2020. The city is Northern Ireland’s economic driver.

Cracow
Cracow, in southern Poland, has a population of 1.7 million in its greater metropolitan area, making it the country’s second-largest city. It is also one of the country’s oldest cities, so it is an attractive business destination and a charming tourist location. Its historic city centre is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
