Travellers nowadays have tremendous choice, which makes it more important than ever for us to ensure the island of Ireland stands out from other destinations – so this award is good news indeed."

Rob Yandell of Group Leisure magazine publisher, added: "For Ireland to win Best International Destination represents a personal recommendation from group travel organizers."

Other winners at the awards included London for Best UK Destination, The View from the Shard for Best UK Attraction and Irish Ferries winning Best Ferry or Fixed Link Operator.
