An investigation into the potential benefit of cruise liners to the Kerry coast will be considered under the council’s new tourism strategy.
Fianna Fáil councillor Norma Moriarty brought a motion on the issue before the recent Kenmare Municipal District meeting.
She’s calling for engagement between the council’s tourism office, cruise liners and the local tourism sector in a bid to derive as much sustainable economic benefit.
Cllr Moriarty says slow, high-quality tourism is needed.
Kerry County Council says such an investigation will be considered, with consultation from cruise liners and relevant tourism industries.
