Cork Airport — May 8, 2024 — “Due South” - a new visitor magazine, aimed at inbound and domestic tourists has been launched at Cork Airport.

Expertly written with contributions from travel writer, Nicola Brady and Noreen Boyle of Mara Media, the magazine also contains special features, including interviews with renowned Irish singer, Lyra, and internationally acclaimed athlete, Sonia O’Sullivan.

"Due South" showcases the top tourist attractions, businesses, and initiatives taking place in Cork and the surrounding counties, acting as the perfect guide for both international and domestic tourists looking to explore the region further. We have received fantastic feedback since launching the annual magazine earlier this year, with readers praising the variety of the content and the high-quality finish. Having produced airport magazines for Ireland West Airport Knock and Donegal Airport for over a decade, we look forward to continuing our partnership with Cork Airport long into the future."
