Ballyhoura looks ahead to expanding tourism

BALLYHOURA Country launched its new tourism website on Thursday 7th May via Facebook Live Stream, and it was seen as a very positive morning for the region and local tourism sector. The launch consisted of a presentation prepared by Jana Mannion, Ballyhoura Tourism Marketing Officer, highlighting key elements of the VisitBallyhoura.com website, including video content and messages from some of the key people in the tourism industry and representatives of local tourism businesses.

The Visit Ballyhoura website vision is to boost tourism for Ballyhoura region and work as a tool for all the local tourism businesses and tourism community groups.

The new website allows future visitors to virtually view and plan their holidays through high quality and engaging content. Down-to-earth, honest, fun, family-friendly and real are some of the attributes that come to mind when scrolling through the website. It is an online one-stop-shop with all the information about Ballyhoura tourism attractions, activity providers, trails, places to stay & eat and events & festivals that are happening in the region.

The tone is friendly and dynamic, and it revolves around the visitor needs, ‘feelings’ and inspiration for a wonderful holiday in Ireland.

At the virtual launch, various tourism chiefs tuned in positive with comments, such as Failte Ireland’s Shauna Cunningham, who said: “It is a very ‘good news’ story for tourism, provides fantastic inspiration and lots of resources for anyone who is planning a trip to the region for when we can travel again.”
