World Travel Market news don't Knock Knock in Ireland

Don't knock a visit to Knock knock who's there in Ireland. Seriously, after a visit to the Guinness shop in Dublin, the most visited venue in Ireland is the town and shrine of Knock, yes, that's how you spell it. After Lourdes, it's one of the most popular places for pilgrimages and stories of cures.   Mother Teresa went there and so did Pope Paul. A million people a year visit Knock.
Knock is also a town which wins awards for being Tidy Town.
I met an Irishman called Michael who is the hotel manager of Westport Woods Hotel which has a spa and runs lots of activities such as 'dancing for pleasure' (why else do you dance? - I suppose to win competitions). If you are less physically active but more mentally active the hotel also runs Bridge weekends. Guaranteed to cure boredom.
You will forgive me if I knock off now
