For the purposes of clarity we shall outline our submission via bullet points:
- County Kerry Tourism Strategy and Action Pan 2016-2022. Chapter 6 on Enterprise and Innovation states that the Tourism Strategy priorities the support for SME’s to raise standards, change, improve and adapt to changing international tourism practices. Policy regarding glamping should be reviewed with this in mind as currently glamping policy in the current County Development Plan is focusing glamping provision to within settlements. This stifles innovation and leads to inferior product offering compared to (sensitive) glamping provision in the countryside.
- Failte Irelands Experience Development Strategy for Kerry states that we should be planning to develop a sustainable plan to improve the visitor experience.
