Tourism Ireland has introduced 'Ireland Unrushed,' a new international campaign designed to inspire travelers to experience the country through a slower, more immersive lens. The initiative emphasizes sustainable tourism by encouraging visitors to linger longer, explore local communities, and connect deeply with Ireland’s landscapes, heritage, and people. The campaign’s core message -- 'when you take your time, you feel more' -- resonates with current travel trends that prioritize authenticity and environmental responsibility.

Supported by striking visuals and storytelling, Ireland Unrushed promotes rural destinations, local artisans, and eco-friendly experiences. It also partners with organizations like Tourism Cares to reinforce social and ecological impact. Launched in June, the campaign is expected to attract mindful travelers looking for restorative and meaningful journeys. As mass tourism continues to be scrutinized for its environmental effects, Ireland is carving out a niche by aligning cultural richness with conservation-focused travel.
