Irish Lights

Ireland is looking for a tourism and brand development partner to increase the number of visitors to the island’s 65 lighthouses.

The work on behalf of The Commissioners of Irish Lights and its Great Lighthouses of Ireland brand will be aligned with the sustainability model, focused on promoting heritage and maritime culture, bolstering the economies of coastal communities and environmental protection.

The overall goal is to increase the number of visitors to Ireland and Northern Ireland’s lighthouses by three percent per year. About 150K people visited the lighthouses in pre-COVID 2019.

Irish Lights plans to award a three-year contract with two one-year renewal options.

Proposals are due Jan. 7, 2022.
