South-East tourism body consigned to history

A TOURISM body which has done Trojan work to promote Waterford and the South-East for the past 40 years, particularly during last year’s Tall Ships Race, is no more.

After serving the needs of tourism in the South East region since 1964, the South East Regional Tourism Authority has now consigned itself to history.

Members attending an Extraordinary General Meeting of the company endorsed the unanimous recommendation of their regional board of management and voted decisively to transfer all tourism operations to Fáilte Ireland, the national tourism development authority.
