WHILE Killarney is getting massive exposure this week with its hosting of the TBEX Europe conference, some travel bloggers got on a bus to have a look at what Tralee has to offer on Tuesday.
There’s 600 of the world’s top bloggers who have a combined audience of 380m travel fans at the INEC this week so Kerry can benefit hugely from their visit as they are being escorted on tours all over the county.
A group of about 14 of them were having lunch in Kirby’s Brogue Inn when we called in on Tuesday.

“We’ve been at Kerry County Museum and Tralee Bay Wetlands this morning and we’ve stopped for a spot of lunch here in Kirby’s Brogue Inn,” said Siobhan King of Failte Ireland who was escorting them on the tour.
“The response has been fantastic. They chose this particular trip based on their interests and they’ve been blown away by the welcome they’ve had in Tralee,” said Siobhan.
After lunch, the bloggers then headed off to Blennerville Windmill and Siamsa Tire which they also thoroughly enjoyed.
It’s great exposure for Tralee and hopefully they’ll say nice things about what the town has to offer on their social media and websites. Scroll down for photos…
