Fáilte Ireland has launched The Kilkenny Destination and Experience Development Plan to extend the tourism season in County Kilkenny over the next five years, focusing on sustainable tourism practices.
The plan includes projects to bring local experiences to life, highlighting the reimagined Medieval Mile and promoting Kilkenny as a key destination for river activities using the Three Sister Rivers for outdoor experiences.
The DEDP also considers the development of a world-class creative animation visitor experience to leverage Kilkenny’s creative and artisan heritage, with a focus on strengthening the area’s unique features to attract visitors.
Key projects include the River Barrow Tourism Masterplan and the funding towards the Museum of Medieval Kilkenny, aiming to enhance Kilkenny’s appeal domestically and internationally to create sustainable jobs and strengthen local communities.
