KTIF, established in 2019, continued to serve as the unified voice for Kerry’s tourism sector through multi-agency collaboration in marketing and development.
Pat O’Leary KTIF Chairperson shared “Tourism in Kerry is not one single sector — it is a network of businesses and communities working together. From international marketing and economic forecasting to innovation and the unique role of our publicans, today’s discussions highlight how every element contributes to the strength of our tourism product. With representation from all regions, chambers and businesses of every scale in the county, KTIF ensures that the voice is unified and influential.”
