Tourism pilot ‘sets the standard’

A PILOT survey of Killarney’s multi-million euro tourism industry may be a model for similar studies in other Irish destinations.

Dr Kevin Griffin, head of tourism at Dublin Institute of Technology, who led the survey, said it was the most comprehensive carried out in any tourism area.

“We collected a huge amount of data and are now analysing it. The survey has identified key issues that can be to the benefit of the industry in the future in Killarney,” he said.
