New strategy to spread tourism evenly across country

Fáilte Ireland, Ireland's national tourism organization, is introducing a three-year strategy aimed at distributing tourism more evenly across the country rather than concentrating it in major urban centers like Dublin. The initiative seeks to boost domestic tourism revenue by 7% by encouraging visits during off-peak times and promoting regional destinations such as the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland's Ancient East. The strategy includes improving competitiveness among 46,000 tourism small and medium enterprises (SMEs), enhancing digital capabilities, and creating new attractions and accommodations. Fáilte Ireland CEO Caroline Bocquel highlighted the importance of tourism as an economic driver, noting that one in ten Irish workers are employed in the sector. She also addressed challenges such as accommodation shortages and emphasized the role of government collaboration in addressing these issues.
