Gulliver Ireland, which is headquartered in Killorglin, Co. Kerry,
is Ireland’s leading cost effective provider of tourism information and reservations.
The original Gulliver system was developed by Bord Fáilte and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board.
Following a partnership agreement with FEXCO in 1997, the financial services company
acquired a majority shareholding in Gulliver and since July 2004 is the 100 per cent owner of Gulliver Ireland.
Following the acquisition in 1997, a significant investment has transformed the Gulliver database as
Ireland’s destination management system and one of the leading systems of its kind in Europe.
The company’s destination management system operates an advanced and comprehensive tourism database
that provides an information and reservation service for Irish tourism products and services.
The Gulliver database contains all approved accommodation providers on the island of Ireland,
regardless of size or location, and the system processes bookings for almost 9,000 member properties
from the Internet, tourist offices and the international call centre. It functions as Ireland’s national
tourism information database and powers, among others, the Fáilte Ireland website,
www.ireland.ie, and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board website,
www.discovernorthernireland.com.
Gulliver Ireland operates GoIreland.com, which is the premier online shop window for Irish tourism businesses
and the leading consumer site for tourist information and bookings.
