Fáilte Ireland says it plans to capitalise on huge interest in dolphin and whale watching in Ireland in its future tourism marketing plans.
The organisation’s chief executive Paul Kelly made the commitment as he addressed the Oireachtas Committee on Tourism with concerns on the coronavirus pandemic’s affect on tourism.
As RTÉ News reports, Kelly told the committee that revenue across Ireland’s tourism sector has declined by €6 billion, with the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs.
And he gave a stark warning that any recovery will only be as strong as the support provided to tourism businesses by banks and Government alike.
