MULTI-award winning

The 'Connecting our Coastline' conference, which will take place on the 5th and
6th September, will look at opportunities to
continue to develop sustainable marine and coastal
tourism and according to Donegal County Council’s
Head of Tourism Barney McLaughlin is an excellent
opportunity for any business, group or individual
with an interest in this developing sector.
“This conference is not only an excellent
opportunity for networking with other likeminded
business or individuals, it is also an opportunity
to gain some great tips and advice to put into
practical use in your own business or region.
Attendees can also engage with the expert panel of
guest speakers including Doug Allan through the Q&A
sessions. The Conference is open to everyone with an
interest in tourism and in particular in marine
tourism and in developing Donegal as a marine
tourism destination of excellence” said Barney. |
