Speaking at the event, Margaret Jenkins, Manager Wild Atlantic Way with Fáilte Ireland, said, “We were pleased to see so many tourism businesses from Clare and Limerick taking time out of their busy schedule to attend our networking event here at The Strand Hotel.  Both counties are well-established and popular destinations, offering rich experiences for domestic and international visitors alike.

“By combining the advantages of Clare and Limerick into a unified offering, travellers can enjoy a greater variety of accommodation, attractions, and activities to fit every taste and budget, encouraging them to explore further, stay longer, and spend more.”
