President of Tralee Chamber Alliance, John Drummey, with the Tripadvisor Flag.
TRALEE has received the flags from TripAdvisor confirming Kerry’s capital town as one of Ireland’s top 10 towns based on ratings and reviews in the Annual Travellers’ Choice Awards.
The flags will be proudly flown above Kerry County Museum in the Ashe Memorial Hall in the town centre, at the Tralee Bay Wetlands and at the Aqua Dome for all to see.
One of the flags will be displayed to over 100,000 people at the Tralee Stand at next week’s National Ploughing Championships in Co Laois.
Earlier this year, Tralee featured in the list of Ireland’s Top 10 Towns in the Annual Travellers’ Choice Awards.
The reviews were gathered over a twelve month period and in its description of Tralee, the TripAdvisor website said: “Slip into a Tralee pub on any unassuming evening and you’ll likely be treated to a lively session of traditional music: fiddlers and guitarists and bearded lads sipping on pints and jamming on festive old tunes.”
The President of Tralee Chamber Alliance, John Drummey, said: “We are one of Ireland’s Top 10 Towns according to reviews on TripAdvisor, the recent Fáilte Ireland Tourism Town Awards and the Irish Business Against Litter Survey. Such achievements would not be possible without the efforts of our members who work tirelessly year-round throughout the hospitality sector – accommodation, dining, pubs and attractions. The support of Kerry County Council and various volunteer groups has also contributed to recent success stories. It’s great to be in the Top 10 but we want to be the best and we need everyone in Tralee to aspire to that goal. Tralee has always had the potential to be a top tourist town and now that potential has started to receive recognition.”
Tralee’s TripAdvisor Flag will be on display to 100s of thousands of people at the National Ploughing Championships in Co Laois next week when Tralee Chamber Alliance will promote the town as the ideal weather-proof destination for a holiday or short break.
The profile of the Tralee Stand at the National Ploughing Championships will be enhanced by a visit from the 2015 Rose of Tralee, Elysha Brennan and the Rose Escort of the Year, Tralee-native Shane Kenny.
There are over 70 things to do in Tralee and full details of where to stay, eat and have fun are available from Tralee.ie.
