South-East group claims Tourism Ireland not doing enough for region

Tourism leaders in the South-East say 80% of those in the hospitality sector feel the region is not adequately represented by Tourism Ireland when it comes to promotions in the international market.

A collaborative effort involving tourism teams in Waterford, Wexford and Kilkenny has been launched to market the region overseas in an attempt to attract new visitors to Ireland and has called for the full support of government and national tourism bodies.

The Forever Happening Southeast Group sees members of the industry from each of the three counties join forces with representatives from the three county councils to promote the region.
