Fáilte Ireland is encouraging more businesses in Kerry to take part as research has shown the public expect and regard it as important that appropriate safety measures are in place if they are taking a break.
Fáilte Ireland says it will be increasing the number of spot-checks on businesses nationwide that have been awarded the charter to ensure they are meeting the standard expected.
