Over 100 Donegal tourism businesses attended the inaugural Donegal Connect event in the @MountErrigal this week, in collaboration with Fáilte Ireland, @donegalcouncil and @govisitdonegal, with special host broadcaster and journalist Richard Curran. The Donegal Connect event aims to foster meaningful connections among Donegal tourism providers within the county. By encouraging referrals, collaborative partnerships, and the sharing of innovative practices, the event seeks to maximise the visitor experience, promote year-round tourism, and achieve a balanced geographical distribution of visitors across Donegal. This initiative aspires to empower local businesses to work collectively in showcasing Donegal as a premier, inclusive, and sustainable destination for all seasons.

Huge congrats to Megan, Aaron, and the entire team on the opening of The Byre at Biddy’s! Tucked away in the serene beauty of Barnesmore Gap, Donegal, this cozy coffee shop & boutique retail space is truly something special! But don't take my word for it, go see for yourself!

This week Fáilte Ireland in partnership with @DonegalAirport @govisitdonegal and @EmeraldAir_VA will showcase Donegal's world-class golf courses to a group of sports media. Titled "Swing into Scenic Bliss," this two-day event brings together a group of golfing journalists to experience the unparalleled beauty, hospitality, and golfing excellence that #Donegal has to offer and showcase the golf offering to their readers and listeners. Golf tourism is extremely valuable to the Irish economy and is estimated to be worth more than €300 million annually to the Republic of Ireland economy.

Over €267,000 announced for Donegal Projects. The investment, under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS), will be key to enhancing our trails and forest walks. It will also provide a boost to local economies by attracting more visitors to our rural communities.
