Reopening of Cong Tourist Office queried

DEPUTY Michael Ring has contacted both Fáilte Ireland and the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media in relation to the reopening of Cong Tourist Office for the summer season.

Said Deputy Ring: “Cong is a very busy and vibrant tourist area during the summer months with lots of international visitors to the area. It is vital that Cong Tourist Office would be open for those months in particular.

“Whilst acknowledging that a lot of information about tourist attractions and a particular area can be found on the internet, it is imperative that we maintain the personal touch in relation to visitors and help them in any way we can to make their stay as memorable and as enjoyable as possible.

“Visitors can gain immense information and find hidden nuggets of beauty from talking to people and tourist offices can greatly assist in imparting this information to our visitors.”

He said he was hoping to have an update from Fáilte Ireland shortly.
