Wild Atlantic Way ‘genius’ idea, says Kerry hotelier

One half of TV’s trouble-shooting hotelier team yesterday described the Wild Atlantic Way as “genius” and its impact on the tourist trade as “phenomenal”.

John Brennan made the comments yesterday when confirming that business at his five-star Park Hotel in Kenmare, Co Kerry, was up 6% last year on 2013.

Mr Brennan runs the Park Hotel with his brother Francis and said yesterday: “We’re in good shape. We are very happy where we are are. Revenues have returned to where they were outside the boom years.”
