Fáilte Ireland To Provide Grants To Deliver New Tourist Attractions

Fáilte Ireland is to provide grants of up to €200,000 to help deliver new tourist attractions and facilities as part of the Visitor Experience Development Plan in Donegal.

The plan, in conjunction with the Wild Atlantic Way, will increase tourism numbers on the peninsula.

Fianna Fail TD Charlie McConalogue welcomed the announcement.

He said: "Inishowen has already benefitted from the Wild Atlantic Way but we need to fully harness our potential and focus on trying to grow and build on that with new projects and initiatives. The Visitor Experience Development Plan will be progressed alongside a master plan for Malin Head – consultants for that projects are due to be appointed in the next few weeks.


"The funding is an essential part of these projects – Fáilte Ireland has committed to providing grants of up to €200,000 to help deliver new tourist attractions and facilities as part of the Visitor Experience Development Plan. One of the main aims of this plan will be to bolster the sustainability of tourism on the peninsula by creating experiences and attractions that will encourage visitors to stay for longer periods of time in the area."
