  • Sustainable Management of Tourist Attractions in Ireland: the Development of a Generic Sustainable Management Checklist
    SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN IRELAND: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GENERIC SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT CHECKLIST By Caroline Gildea Supervised by Dr. James Hanrahan A dissertation submitted to the School of Business and Humanities, Institute of Technology, Sligo in fulfilment of the requirements of a Master of Arts (Research) June 2012 1 Declaration Declaration of ownership: I declare that this thesis is all my own work and that all sources used have been acknowledged. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis centres on the analysis of the sustainable management of visitor attractions in Ireland and the development of a tool to aid attraction managers to becoming sustainable tourism businesses. Attractions can be the focal point of a destination and it is important that they are sustainably managed to maintain future business. Fáilte Ireland has written an overview of the attractions sector in Ireland and discussed how they would drive best practice in the sector. However, there have still not been any sustainable management guidelines from Fáilte Ireland for tourist attractions in Ireland. The principal aims of this research was to assess tourism attractions in terms of water, energy, waste/recycling, monitoring, training, transportation, biodiversity, social/cultural sustainable management and economic sustainable management. A sustainable management checklist was then developed to aid attraction managers to sustainability within their attractions, thus saving money and the environment. Findings from this research concluded that tourism attractions in Ireland are not sustainably managed and there are no guidelines, training or funding in place to support these attraction managers in the transition to sustainability. Managers of attractions are not aware or knowledgeable enough in the area of sustainability.

  • Irland Zählt Zu Den Schönsten Reisezielen Europas
    Irland zählt zu den schönsten Reisezielen Europas. Scheinbar immergrüne Landschaften wechseln sich mit den kargen Felsformationen im Burren­Gebiet und der reizvollen Connemara­Region ab. Die Rei­ Irland se führt auch immer wieder an den „Wild Atlantic Way“ und damit zu den spektakulärsten Küstenab­ schnitten des Landes: dem Ring of Kerry, den Cliffs of Moher und dem Giant´s Causeway. Die „Grüne Wiesen, Klippen, Pints und Kreuze: Insel“ ist gleichermaßen ein Hort der Kultur. Ein „Mile failte“ auf der Grünen Insel langes keltisch­christliches Erbe prägte Land und Leute und spiegelt sich in zahllosen, jahrhunderte­ alten Ausgrabungen, Kirchen und Klosterruinen im ganzen Land wider. Ein besonderer Höhepunkt der Reise ist außerdem der Besuch des Titanic Museums in Belfast, in dem Sie nicht nur mehr über das wohl bekannteste Schiff der Welt, sondern auch über die Menschen und das Leben in dieser Zeit, erfahren! Highlights Reizvolle Städte Belfast, Galway und Cork Unterwegs am Wild Atlantic Way: Irlands schönste Küsten Ulster: Facettenreiches Nordirland Rock of Cashel Irland 12 Tag 4 Letterkenny – Sligo – Connemara – Galway Teils der Strecke des „Wild Atlantic Ways“ folgend, führt unsere Rei­ se durch Donegal, den wildromantischen Nordwesten Irlands. Über Sligo gelangen wir zum Küstenort Westport an der Clew Bay. Hier ragt der 753 m hohe Croagh Patrick, der „heilige Berg Irlands“, un­ vermittelt und weithin sichtbar aus dem Küstenvorland auf. Die Fahrt durch die Region Connemara zeigt uns eine kontrastreiche und ur­ sprünglich anmutende Landschaft, die von Seen, Mooren, Felsen, tief eingeschnittenen Buchten und kahlen Bergkegeln geprägt wird. In weiten Teilen nur sehr dünn besiedelt, wirkt die Connemara bis­ weilen wie ein mystisches Naturparadies.
