Public Information Evening On Cliffs Strategy

LISCANNOR, Ireland - Sept. 1, 2023 - PRLog -- The Preliminary Draft Cliffs of Moher Strategy 2040 provides a long-term vision for the sustainable development of the world-class visitor attraction over the next 20 years, while also extending economic benefits across the wider region including the towns and villages of County Clare

The Failte Ireland supported Strategy is being prepared on behalf of Clare County Council by a multi-disciplinary team of consultants, with guidance provided by a Steering Group of representatives from the Local Authority, Cliffs of Moher Experience, Fáilte Ireland, the National Parks and Wildlife Service, private industries and the wider community. Extensive consultation has also been undertaken with Elected Members, the tourism and hospitality sector, and the local community during the past three years.

In advance of an information evening at the Falls Hotel in Ennistymon on September 20th, the Preliminary Draft Strategy has been made available for public viewing at the West Clare Municipal District (MD) Office in Ennistymon, at library branches in Ennistymon, Lisdoonvarna, Corofin and Miltown Malbay, and on the Cliffs of Moher website at www.cliffsofmoher.ie.

"This strategy presents an exciting opportunity to reimagine and reshape the visitor experience and wider site at the Cliffs of Moher and to further enhance this world-class attraction for the benefit of visitors and the wider community in County Clare," explained Geraldine Enright, Director of the Cliffs of Moher Experience.

Miriam Kennedy, Head of the Wild Atlantic Way with Failte Ireland, said, "Aligning to the Wild Atlantic Way plan the success of the Cliffs of Moher strategy will rest on achieving a sustainable balance between the priorities to create high quality visitor experiences, protect the cultural authenticity and wildness of the natural assets, increase tourism revenue across the season and within the county, and minimise any adverse impacts on local communities," she added.

The upcoming information evening will feature a presentation of the Preliminary Draft Cliffs of Moher Strategy 2040, while information boards will outline the key pillars of the plan.
