Tourism chiefs in Ireland are aiming to cash in on reports of one of the world’s most famous couples honeymooning in the country – and have confirmed the couple are in the country.

Celebrity TV star Kim Kardashian and rapper Kanye West reportedly flew into Cork on Saturday evening for a supposedly secret getaway after their Italian wedding.

But when rumours spread of the glamour arrival – still to be confirmed by the newlyweds – scores of teenage fans and inquisitive locals descended on the luxury Castlemartyr Resort.

The
rapper, 36, and reality TV star, 33, took off for a rural retreat after
celebrating their weekend wedding with several hundred guests at the
16th-century Fort Belvedere in Florence.

It was the groom’s first and the third for his bride.

And
Tourism Ireland is now hoping to cash in on the worldwide interest in
the couple’s Irish honeymoon by targeting their massive online fan base.

Kardashian has 40 million plus followers on Twitter and Facebook.

‘We’re
working hard to produce a guide for their fans about where they are, or
rather where they might be,’ marketing director Mark Henry said.

‘We’d
love to be able to give their millions of followers the information so
maybe they can follow in their footsteps. It’s a global story.’

When
news first emerged of the superstar arrival, Mr Henry posted on his
Twitter account: ‘A big welcome to Ireland @KimKardashian and @kanyewest
from all of us at @TourismIreland – we’re working to improve the
weather right now…’

Tourism
Ireland is hoping to run a potentially massive and lucrative marketing
blitz by using a guide of places to visit to connect with just a
fraction of the couple’s millions of followers.

The
agency is hoping fans eager to get a glimpse into the lives of the rich
and famous will maybe follow suit with a trip to the south-west.

The
first sign of the superstar arrival was a private jet landing at Cork
Airport yesterday afternoon and a couple being whisked from the runway
in limousines.

The
couple – known as Kimye – are reportedly expected to spend one day in
Dublin but the frequent social media users have remained unusually quiet
about their plans.

Kanye West proposed to Kim Kardashian on her 33rd birthday in October last year.

Their daughter named North was born in June 2013.

It’s very lovely here in the sunny south east of Cork, and very welcoming. If these people are at that resort they will not see any of the natural beauty of the area. Should you change your mind and pay us a visit you will not be disappointed, much better here in Cork than Dublin. All are welcome.

It’s incredibly un-Irish to publish a guide to where these people are. Our way usually is to pretend we don’t know people are famous and just let them be. I’ve never been a fan of the Kardashian clan but they do deserve privacy on their honeymoon here in Ireland. And usually it can be relied upon. In various odd encounters I’ve found myself having a sandwich beside Bruce Springsteen, had Daniel Day Lewis in a cinema queue in front of me and passed Sarah Jessica Parker in the street in Dublin. And no one, including myself, made any approach to them. Which is as it should be.

I think Kanye is trying to give Kim a bit of culture taking her to Ireland and wedding in Florence. I don’t have much hope for Miss Plastic America.

Whether any of you realise it or not our lives don’t centre aound Kim or Kayne and we don’t care if kim or Kayne are here in Ireland. It does not matter to us. We have far more serious issues to worry about.

I have a friend from Cork who picked up some giant plastic buttocks when on a stag do a few years ago. He is going to wear them in her honour. Hope she has a sense of humour!

I bet they see nothing of the beautiful countryside and instead spend all the time taking selfies – and no doubt belfies too – inside that fancy building… And when not taking selfies they’ll sit around watching old editions of the Kardashians TV show.
