"Travelzoo is excited to bring the magic of Ireland and the St. Patrick's Day Parade alive for our 15 million members in the U.S.," says Mike Stitt, Travelzoo's President of North America. "Ireland is a favorite destination for our members and it ranked sixth on their list of places to visit in 2017. To be part of the renowned St Patrick's Day Parade and to let people visit it virtually through this special partnership with Tourism Ireland provides a truly unique experience for our members."

"Tourism Ireland is delighted to partner with Travelzoo in our St. Patrick's week campaign and to bring Travelzoo's Gabe Saglie to Ireland," says Ruth Moran, Communications Manager for Tourism Ireland. "In 2016, we welcomed a record 1.6 million North American visitors to the island of Ireland, and looking to the year ahead, with more airline seats available than ever before between North America and Ireland, it's never been easier to get there. We are confident that the strong dollar, as well as the strength and competitiveness of the vacation experience around the island of Ireland, will entice Travelzoo members to come. We look forward to welcoming more of our great friends from the United States this year and in the future."
