A DELEGATION from a Chinese city visited Tralee yesterday with tentative plans to twin with the town.

The delegation was hosted by Kieran Ruttledge, CEO of Tralee Chamber Alliance and John Griffin of Kerry County Council and visited a number of the town’s attractions.

They took a guided tour of the Kerry County Museum, saw the beautiful Town Park and visited Tralee Bay Wetlands.

Taizhou has a population of over 5.5 million people. A twinning could have huge tourism and economic benefits for the town with exposure of Tralee’s attractions to a city with a bigger population than Ireland.
