Launched earlier this year by the Irish Hotels Federation (IHF), Irelandhotels.com's Go Anywhere Gift Card is an ideal Christmas gift that offers tremendous flexibility; enabling family and friends to create lasting memories at over 350 participating hotels and guesthouses around Ireland.
A thoughtful thank you gift for clients and colleagues
The gift card is also the perfect solution for those special corporate gifts, where you want to thank loyal clients or colleagues. And in a year like no other, why not give them the gift of choice, while at the same time thoughtfully supporting Irish tourism when we can travel again.
The Go Anywhere Gift Card falls under the Small Benefits Exemption Scheme and qualifies for Benefit in Kind (BiK) tax exemption.
Employers can save 56 per cent on rewarding staff under the Small Benefits Exemption Scheme. Company directors and employees can receive a non-cash bonus of up to €500 on a completely tax-free basis each year. As the payment must be in a non-cash form, the most common way to avail of this scheme is by purchasing gift vouchers.
The Go Anywhere Gift Card also qualifies for the Government's Benefit in Kind tax exemption, allowing businesses to reward their staff up to €500 each free of tax, USC or PRSI. Businesses can save up to €653.65 per employee when rewarding their staff with the Go Anywhere Gift Card as an annual reward.
Flexibility
The flexibility that the Go Anywhere Gift Card offers opens up so many options for a break away in Ireland, and allows the recipient to travel when and where they want, meaning memorable experiences are just a few clicks away.
Talking about the Go Anywhere Gift Card from Irelandhotels.com, IHF president Elaina Fitzgerald Kane says: "This year more than ever, everyone of us deserves a great Christmas, enjoying time with family and friends and making plans for better times to come in 2021. By giving a Go Anywhere Gift Card this Christmas, you're taking the first step to creating the dream for when the time comes to travel freely again."
Supported by Failte Ireland, the Go Anywhere concept is simple; just log on to Irelandhotels.com and select the value gift card you wish to purchase, in denominations of €50 to €1,000. The gift card, which is valid for five years, can then be delivered electronically or by post in a signature gift box. It can then be redeemed at over 350 participating hotels and guesthouses across Ireland, which are all listed on the website.
The Go Anywhere Gift Guide
For him
Finding the right gift for your dad, husband, grandad, brother, uncle or godfather can be exhausting.
For the man that loves to travel why not help him to tick off that special place to visit from his bucket list? Whether it’s a historical site, a film or TV show set, or a top tourist attraction, let him choose where to go on his next trip with the Go Anywhere Gift Card. He can choose from 350 hotels and guesthouses all around Ireland.
For her
Be it for your wife or girlfriend, mother, daughter, niece, sister, granny, aunty, or godmother, coming up with a gift for the lady in your life can be understandably challenging.
For the lady that loves spa treatments, the Go Anywhere Gift Card can be used in the more than 200 Irish hotels that offer the best spas in Ireland, including top luxury spas such as The K Club Spa, a hidden luxury oasis of calm and tranquillity in Kildare; the Solas Croí Spa at Brandon House Hotel in Wexford; or Hayfield Manor Spa in Cork.
For families
If you want to treat a special family, the Go Anywhere Gift Card can be redeemed in Ireland's top family-friendly hotels as a total or partial payment of the balance of their stay. Named number one of the top 30 family-friendly hotels in Ireland in 2020, Amber Springs Hotel & Health Spa is a family favourite holiday destination that accepts the gift card; as does The Diamond Coast Hotel which offers a selection of family rooms, accommodating families of up to six people.
For foodies
Treat their taste buds to the best food our country has to offer thanks to the Go Anywhere Gift Card. With it, they could enjoy a gourmet experience in the best of Ireland's award-winning restaurants. Mount Juliet Estate's Lady Helen Restaurant will give them the delight of the best fine dining experience; while Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, a two star Michelin restaurant at The Merrion Hotel is a must try.
For five-star luxury
When it comes to a treat, who doesn't love a bit of five-star luxury? Lucky recipients can redeem the Go Anywhere Gift Card in some of Ireland's top hotels. For a city break, the Fitzwilliam Hotel in Dublin overlooking St Stephen's Green is the ideal spot to discover the capital's sights, shops, restaurants. While for an opulent country getaway, The Heritage Killenard is set in the wonderful unspoilt Laois countryside.
Decisions, decisions
So all that’s left to do is for the lucky Go Anywhere Gift Card recipient to decide if a stay along the Wild Atlantic Way floats their boat; or perhaps a city break in Dublin is more up their street. Maybe digging into the history of Ireland’s Ancient East is what they will choose; or falling in love with Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands.
