Ideas afloat for West Cork coast tourism

Cork County Council and the Port of Cork are to hold a public meeting in a bid to float fresh ideas to boost West Cork tourism through the cruise liner business.

In particular they are to focus on bringing more smaller cruise liners, with up to 800 passengers each, into Bantry and Glengarriff and putting together shore excursions which will be based in the West Cork region.

As part of the plan, they are hosting a public meeting in the Celtic Ross Hotel, Rosscarbery, on Thursday at 2.30pm.
