Just a small percentage of the vouchers which can be used towards overnight accommodation in Kerry have been presented so far in hotels, guesthouses, and other facilities.

The coupons in denominations of €20 to €5 were sent out to 56,000 households in Kerry in June in a campaign by the Kingdom’s main tourist body the Kerry Tourism Industry Federation (KTIF) and Kerry County Council.
