Niall Gibbons to Leave Tourism Ireland CEO Post in April
Tourism Ireland CEO Niall Gibbons announced this week that he plans to step down from his position in April 2023.
Mr. Gibbons said:
“After 21 wonderful years with Tourism Ireland, almost 14 as Chief Executive, I have informed the Chairman of my intention to step down from my role in April 2023. Being CEO of Tourism Ireland, leading an exceptionally talented team, has been a great honour and privilege. I started with the company just after 9/11 and tourism has weathered many challenges since then, including COVID 19. As we approach the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which gave rise to Tourism Ireland, the time is right for a new challenge. I want to thank everyone for all the support I have received over the last 21 years. I wish the staff of Tourism Ireland and the tourism industry well in 2023 and beyond.”
The Tourism Ireland Board will now commence an international recruitment effort to select a new CEO.
