    Thousands to discover Killaloe and Ballina

    Sunday, April 29 has been chosen as the date for the Discover Day in Ballina and Killaloe, which aims to create local tourism ambassadors to play a key role in highlighting what is on offer for visitors and tourists all year round.

    A committee of local business people and voluntary groups, chaired by Doug Hyde of Satyma, has been working to compile the content for the brochure for the event.

    “Businesses are giving a taste of the services and facilities to customers for free on April 29. Once local people better understand the unique tourism, recreational and retail products on offer in Killaloe and Ballina, the better able we will be to keep tourists and business in this area,” he said.

    Facilitated by Waterways Ireland, Fáilte Ireland, Shannon Development and Clare and North Tipperary county councils, the group already has information on visitor attractions, water activities, arts and crafts, face painting, live music, a historical walking tour of Killaloe and Ballina, boat trips and other land and water activities.
