Cork to capitalise on 2005 tourism success

A NEW multi-agency body is poised to build on the massive economic success of Cork 2005 which was valued yesterday at €90 million.

City manager Joe Gavin confirmed that the Cork Marketing Partnership, set up to specifically market the city, will begin its work in January.

He made the announcement at the launch of a major study on the economic impact of tourism on the city and its hinterland during the Cork 2005 designation.
