Tourism officers from every county in Ireland met at Killashee Hotel in Naas for the inaugural meeting of the Tourism Officer Network, aiming to collaborate on cross-council tourism initiatives and share ideas for the tourism industry’s benefit.
The network was proposed by Leitrim Tourism Officer Sinead McDermott and Into Kildare CEO Áine Mangan, providing a platform for information sharing, feedback contribution, and collaboration with the CCMA BETIUER Committee to drive economic growth in Ireland.
The terms of reference for the network were outlined at the meeting, offering tourism officers the chance to share best practices, information, and collaborate on tourism-related initiatives.
Membership is open to nominated tourism officers and companies with joint agreements for tourism marketing and development, with Áine Mangan leading the first meeting as Chair. The network aims to strengthen collaboration among county tourism representatives for the benefit of Ireland’s tourism sector.
