  • Buses in the Burren 2014 a Study of the Impacts and Issues
    Buses in the Burren 2014 A Study of the Impacts and Issues January 2015 Funded by 1 Introduction This study on bus and coach tourism has been commissioned by the Burren & Cliffs of Moher Geopark and has been funded jointly under TransTourism, the Northern Periphery Interreg IVB Programme and the EU LIFE + GeoparkLIFE Programme. The Burren is one of Europe’s most unique landscapes whose landscape and culture attracts increasing visitor numbers each year. The astonishing character of this karst region has evolved through a powerful combination of geology, ecology, archaeology, agriculture, history, heritage, commerce, creativity and community. These rich and diverse influences infuse the area with a haunting, spectacular and world-unique beauty. Tourism is a valuable source of income for many businesses and families in the region. The quality of the tourism product and the care with which it is offered are crucial attractions for visitors. It’s clear to all that tourism brings challenges as well as opportunities and that the unique natural assets of the region need to be protected and cared for. To ensure the protection and sustainable use of this natural resource, a co-ordinated approach to visitor management and environmental protection has been underway for over a decade implementing the principle of ecotourism in the area and linking environmental, community and tourism interests with statutory agencies and business operators. These efforts have been accelerate since the award of UNESCO recognised Global Geopark status in 2011. In order to plan more effectively for sustainable tourism practices in the area, the Burren & Cliffs of Moher Geopark have commissioned this study to establish baseline information on the extent and impacts of coach tourism in the area.
