Project aims to build tourism clusters

More than 100 entrepreneurs from England, Wales, Holland, Belgium, and Ireland are visiting EU-funded businesses in south Kerry.

They are building up contacts with local businesses, from B&Bs offering cycling packages to hotels with equestrian facilities, as part of a €10.6m Collabor8 project.

The aim of the project is to build clusters of businesses involved in areas such as local food, cultural activities and hospitality.
