Bridging Ireland and China through culture and travel

Connecting Ireland and China through culture and travel
Founded in 2015, the Ireland China Culture and Tourism Association brings people together through cultural exchange, tourism promotion and lasting collaboration between Ireland and China.
Our work connects individuals, communities, businesses, schools and universities, tourism professionals and public institutions through real events, cultural travel, heritage showcases and long-term cooperation programmes.
