Mayor welcomes Boston visitors to Derry

The visitors are travelling with Boston-based tour operator Cara Group Travel, which regularly brings American visitors to Ireland, including Derry as part of its itineraries.

This summer, Cara Group Travel has a particularly strong presence here, with three football teams having taken part in the Foyle Cup alongside a music group and more than 80 travelling supporters.

Welcoming the group, Mayor Uí Niallais said she was delighted to receive the visitors and highlighted the importance of international tourism to the local economy.

"It is always a pleasure to welcome visitors from the United States to our city. We are proud of the warm welcome we offer and the opportunity to share our unique history, culture and hospitality. We hope everyone enjoys their time in Derry and Strabane and leaves with many lasting memories."
