Clare’s number one natural attraction has been honoured with a prestigious national award.
The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience has been awarded a Gold Award and the accolade of ‘Best Visit’ in Ireland at the annual CIE Tours International Awards of Excellence last night.
The annual award scheme acknowledges tourist attractions which achieve a customer satisfaction rating in excess of 90%.
It comes as new figures show more than 1.1 million people visited the attraction last year, which means it’s now tied with the Guinness Storehouse in terms of visitor numbers.
The majority of visitors were from the US, accounting for 41% of the footfall, with Republic of Ireland residents making up 29% of the overall visitor number, 24% were from the UK, Canada, Germany, Spain, France and Italy.
