Workshops to salvage Gaeltacht tourism

TOURISM operators in Cork’s Gaeltacht are being invited to a series of workshops being organised to help salvage this year’s season – and possibly next year’s also – which has been badly hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The online workshops being arranged will support Gaeltacht tourism providers in developing compelling visitor experiences for the domestic tourism market in 2020.

The aim is to have these experiences available in the next six weeks in order to facilitate people when and if travel restrictions are lifted in Phase Four of the reopening Ireland roadmap.

These focussed learning sessions will also include follow-up one-to-one mentoring from tourism experts and are aimed at hosts who have something interesting to share and who enjoy being with people. Guidance on adherence to public health guidelines will be also discussed at the workshops.

The online workshop for tourism providers in the Cork, Waterford and Kerry Gaeltachtaí is due to take place on Monday, June 8.

To participate in the online sessions email saoire@udaras. ie for more details and to receive the appropriate application form. Applications must be submitted by Friday May 29.
