EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum is in the running to be crowned the world's leading tourist attraction.

The Dublin museum is up against 13 other sites including The Great Wall of China, The Taj Mahal, Table Mountain and Machu Picchu. 

Voting in The World Travel Awards closes on Sunday October 20. Titanic Belfast won it in 2016.

Earlier this year EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum was voted Europe’s leading tourist attraction.

Aileesh Carew, Director of Sales and Marketing at EPIC, said the museum tells the stories of the Irish emigration experience "with dignity and care". 

"Titanic Belfast won this award with great public support in 2016, and Spike Island was a finalist in 2017 and 2018. We hope that our visitors and supporters will join us in bringing this award back to Ireland,” she added.

EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum was founded by Neville Isdell and opened by Mary Robinson in May 2016.
