Fáilte Ireland are developing ‘Visitor Experience Plans’ for the Wild Atlantic Way. They have completed plans for the Skelligs and for Connemara and are now turning their attention to the three peninsulas of Mizen, Sheeps Head and Beara. Kenmare is also included in this geographic area. The main aim of these plans is to increase ‘dwell time’. As part of this initiative there will be a number of Irish and International consultants visiting the area over the next few months to ‘get a feel’ for what we offer and how we can best sell our destination. It is a great opportunity for us to see ourselves from a strangers perspective and get guidance on how to better voice our message of who we are and what we offer. We will keep you informed of the process as it progresses.
As always, please feel free to contact us here in the office if you have any ideas you want to put forward, or if you are interested in becoming a member.
