Meeting to set up more travel links

COUNCIL officials in Wales are meeting with ferry companies tomorrow regarding the setting-up of more links with Ireland.

Representatives from Carmarthenshire County Council in west Wales hope the meetings will enable them to set up such links as they aim to launch a major campaign over the next two years to bring in more tourists from Ireland.

Carmarthenshire’s tourism and marketing manager, Huw Parsons, said it was difficult to say how much money was being spent targeting the Irish market but added that southern Ireland is one its main tourism targets going forward.
