TWO key players in international travel have been honoured in Killarney for their contribution to the area’s multi-million euro tourism industry.

Margaret Cahill, head of Tourism Ireland in Europe, and Colin Algate, managing director of Globus Cosmos, have been invested as members of the Order of Innisfallen.

Killarney mayor Sheila Casey, speaking at a presentation ceremony, said the honour acknowledged their work, which was helping to bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to the area.
