About

City of a Thousand Welcomes is an exciting new civic initiative that promotes Dublin as a place where tourists can receive outstanding hospitality.

We connect first-time visitors with proud Dubliners. The meeting is hosted by our patrons, at no cost to either party. The short-term goal is to give visitors a really positive first impression of Dublin. The long-term goal is to bolster the city’s reputation as a place where ‘great hospitality’ is more than just a slogan.

The director of the City of a Thousand Welcomes is Trevor White. Born in Dublin, he was the founding publisher of The Dubliner magazine. Trevor’s memoir, The Dubliner Diaries, has been described by David McWilliams as “an exceptional portrait of the Celtic Tiger,” and was an Irish Times Book of the Year in 2010.
