Emerald Green Media is pleased to announce that our flagship website, Ireland Before You Die, has been shortlisted for ‘Travel Website of the Year’ at the 2024 UK Dev Awards.

Emerald Green Media has had much to shout about so far in 2024. Following the recent announcement of Ireland Before You Die’s (IB4UD) shortlisting for ‘Best Website’ at the 2024 Spider Awards, we are pleased to reveal yet another nomination.

IB4UD will also represent Emerald Green Media in the ‘Travel Website of the Year’ category at the upcoming UK Dev Awards.

Ireland Before You Die – Ireland’s premier independent travel website

As outlined in its mission statement, our goal for IB4UD is to inspire every person in the world to visit the Emerald Isle at least once in their life.

In the decade since our 2014 inception, our travel resources have helped us become Ireland’s preeminent independent travel website.

Our content is the fruit of the labours of a passionate team of travel writers from across the country, which allows us to comfortably claim expertise in a number of fields, from where to get the best pizza in Limerick to the best things to do on a rainy day in Dublin.

Our website is built on a foundation laid by this incredible content, but this alone is not the reason behind our nomination for ‘Travel Website of the Year’.

We combine our written content with an easily navigable and interactive user interface and engaging audiovisual content that ensures our readers return for more.

Further to reader retention, our very successful digital strategy allows us to regularly and steadily grow our readership. Our SEO practices have ensured we are consistently among the top Google results for all Ireland-related keyphrases.

IB4UD’s visibility on Google and its related platforms has resulted in over one million visitors each month.

It is fair to say IB4UD is a trusted and knowledgeable entity in the world of travel websites.
