Dingle website to boost tourism in area

AN innovative website promoting the attractions of the Dingle area has been launched by a local couple.

Tourdingle.com has information for locals and visitors alike and its aim is to act as a significant marketing tool for Dingle and its environs.

The website was set up by Lisa and Pat Hennessy whose passion for the area and desire to promote Dingle as a destination prompted the project’s development.

Lisa Hennessy said they think it will be “hugely beneficial” to the local community as a whole, by marketing the Dingle peninsula exclusively as a discovery and activity destination for holiday makers worldwide, taking full advantage of all the new and well-developed facilities and services now available for tourism in the region.

As part of their work, the Hennessys arrange holiday packages for people who enjoy outdoor activities on the Dingle peninsula.

“We also feel that tourdingle is innovative in that it is co-operative by its nature and does not compete with other businesses for tourist trade that is already in the area,” she said.

The site features guides, news, events, geographic and historic information, and a gallery of photos of some of the surrounding scenery.
