About Kilkenny Tourism

As a shared collective, Kilkenny Tourism CLG strives to increase the economic impact of continued investment in Kilkenny’s tourism sector and maximize the audience reach.
As the primary vehicle by which marketing and communication strategies are implemented, Kilkenny Tourism CLG engages with Kilkenny Leader Partnership (KLP), the OPW, Coillte, Waterways Ireland, Kilkenny Civic Trust, Fáilte Ireland, Kilkenny County Council and Tourism Ireland to refine the tourism offering. Kilkenny is a hero site within Fáilte Ireland’s ‘Ireland’s Ancient East’ campaign – the tourism stakeholders are targeting increasing visitor numbers with a number of major marketing and branding campaigns, consistent with Kilkenny’s history and heritage. This is a voluntary group of nominated sectoral representatives who work together to enhance the tourist experience.
