Kerry tourism ‘worst in 32 years’

A LEADING figure in Kerry tourism yesterday said the current season was the worst in his 32 years in the industry.

Killarney hotelier and vice-president of the Irish Hotels Federation (IHF) Michael Rosney said the industry was now looking to Irish people to salvage what looks like being a particularly difficult season.

Tourism interests in the county are being urged to back a Fáilte Ireland marketing initiative by contributing up to €2,000 each to promote Kerry nationally.
