“This is a major promotional boost for the campaign,” said Clare TD Pat Breen. “The Burren and Cliffs of Moher were recently awarded the UNESCO Global Geoparks status and it would be the icing on the cake for the Cliffs of Moher and for tourism in general in County Clare if the Cliffs of Moher is named one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature on November 11th. “Over 345,000 visitors have enjoyed the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience in the first six months of this year alone and it is a magnet for attracting tourists from all over the world,” Deputy Breen stated. “The Cliffs of Moher will succeed if everybody gets behind the campaign, with over one billion voters ultimately making the decision as to who the eventual 7 New Wonders will be. So I would appeal again to anybody who has not already cast their vote for the Cliffs of Moher to do so immediately,” he urged The Cliffs are part of an international shortlist for the New 7 Wonders of Nature, which includes the Amazon in South America, The Dead Sea in Palestine and The Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

The final push is on to make the Cliffs of Moher one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. An Taoiseach Enda Kenny will back the campaign, which could bring tens of thousands of additional visitors to the region each year.
