New tourism project launched in Iveragh region

A new tourism project is being launched in the Iveragh region.

The Eco-Tourism project will focus on using natural heritage as a tourism asset.

The initiative has been launched by University College Cork, Kerry County Council and South Kerry Development Partnership and will see a collaboration with the Llyn Peninsula in Wales.

The concept enables communities to co-market their natural and cultural assets to create sustainable tourism.

This project, which will run for three years, will involve training, networking and workshop events.
