Cork Chamber enthusiastically welcomed the launch of the new tourism strategy which emphasises the strengths of the entire Cork region as a tourism destination entitled ‘Growing Tourism in Cork: a collective strategy’. This strategy, which engaged key players in the tourism sector from across the City and County in its development, sets out focussed plans on how the region can best position itself as a must visit tourist destination.
