Walking tourism could create 200 jobs, study finds
The study says that although the region’s west coast has the attributes required for a successful hub for walking tourism which could facilitate both domestic and overseas visitors, it is under-exploited in comparison with other areas of outstanding natural beauty, both nationally and internationally.
However, a local development group has declared that it is prepared to invest around €1m in the sector within the next 18 months if Cork County Council and Bord Fáilte, as well as local communities and private business, come on board.
