Tour America has been named as one of Ireland’s Best Managed Companies, the leading business awards programme led by Deloitte.
Tour America – which demonstrated superior business performance for the 15th time this year, was recognised at an awards ceremony in the RDS yesterday.
This year, Deloitte recognised 129 indigenous companies at the awards, representing 28 of the 32 counties across the island of Ireland. The network of companies has a combined turnover of more than €15bn and provides employment to over 45,000 people across a range of sectors from technology and healthcare to construction.
A thorough judging process precedes the recognition each year, evaluating the entire management team and the business strategy of each company. The judges examine a wide range of areas when assessing Ireland’s top privately-owned businesses, such as a business’ environmental, social and governance.
Commenting on the award, Mary McKenna, CEO, Tour America expressed her pride in the company being recognised as one of Deloitte’s Best Managed Companies for the 15th consecutive year.
She emphasised that Tour America is the only travel company to receive this prestigious honour, standing among the best in the industry.

Brian Murphy, Lead Partner for Ireland’s Best Managed Companies Awards Programme, said: “The Irish economic growth story has been extraordinary, and we see this evidenced in the success of Irish indigenous businesses and the confidence shown by Best Managed Companies. Ensuring Ireland’s entrepreneurs and the companies they start get the support they need to grow and scale is crucial.”
