We here in Munster Vales would like to extend our warmest of wishes to our tourism providers within the region on re opening your doors to visitors from June 29th and the weeks that follow, It has been an extremely challenging time for the tourism industry and Covid19 has brought a set of new operating guidelines that have caused the tourism trade to adjust or diversify their business plan to reopen safely. We know how challenging an operation that is and how hard you have been working behind the scenes to meet Covid compliance and recommended guidelines by Fáilte Ireland and relevant bodies. Munster Vales is a diverse region with many amazing attractions, engaging activities and exceptional accommodation mirrored by immersive food and drink experiences and that due to the diligent, warm, knowledgeable and tourism providers that exist within Munster Vales. We extend our gratitude to the tourism industry within Munster Vales and wish you all the best in the season ahead.
