A PLAN which aims to develop tourism in Tralee over the next five years was launched by Minister of State for Sport and Tourism, Brendan Griffin, at Ballyseede Castle Hotel on Monday.

The ‘Developing Tourism in Tralee — Action Plan to 2025’ was commissioned to provide a blueprint for the future development of tourism in the greater Tralee area and to influence future tourism plans and strategies.

The aim is to have Tralee recognised nationally and internationally as an exciting, accessible, modern, world class destination set in an area of immense natural beauty, which delivers memorable experiences for visitors.

It is anticipated that with the implementation of the plan, Tralee will be one of the best family-friendly destinations in the country; will attract events and conferences; it will promote activity tourism in the Tralee Bay area; promote the culture, language, arts and creative sector; establish Tralee as Tourist Destination Town based on criteria set out by Fáilte Ireland.

The report was commissioned by Tralee Chamber Alliance with support of Kerry County Council and NEWKD, while O’Leary and Associates carried out the analysis and developed the plan in consultation with the TCA Tourism Team, local businesses an stakeholders/partners in Tourism Development. The action plan will be available soon to view on www.tralee.ie
