Belmond Grand Hibernian Welcome to Belmond Grand Hibernian You’re gliding past emerald hills, craggy coastline and weathered ruins. This is the land of legends. BELMOND GRAND HIBERNIAN CHAPTER ONE Discover Ireland With wild landscapes, a fascinating history and rich culture, there’s much to love about the Emerald Isle. Fine food and festive frolics cheer the spirit Ireland is a place of rugged, romantic vistas, steeped in ancient lore. It’s a land where shingle shores were carved by giants. Ceilidhs and fleadhs come alive to the sound of fiddles and folk music. Yet there’s more to the Emerald Isle than getting merry on St. Patrick’s Day. Belmond Grand Hibernian takes you on a unique journey across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland to the country’s green and gallant heart. The country’s history can be grasped through its diverse terrain, each spectacle a monument to a bygone era. Glide among weathered hills and ruins. Tour West Belfast and discover the birthplace of the Titanic. On a private visit, kiss the Blarney Stone, built into the battlements of its namesake 15th-century castle, to be blessed with the gift of eloquence. Get a taste of Ireland with local specialities such as Gubbeen cheese, Galway Oysters and Connemara Hill Lamb. Sample ‘the black stuff’ – Guinness – which has been in production since 1759, or visit Jameson distillery for some of the country’s finest whiskeys. There’s always a brimming calendar celebrating Ireland’s rich culture, including internationally renowned arts, film and music festivals. This is céad míle fáilte, the land of a thousand welcomes, and we can’t wait to greet you. BELMOND GRAND HIBERNIAN ‘May the road rise to meet you, may the wind always be at your back...” – Irish proverb BELMOND GRAND HIBERNIAN BELMOND.COM/GRANDHIBERNIAN CHAPTER TWO Life on Board Enter a world in which elegant carriages, traditional onboard entertainment and Ireland’s mythical landscapes set the scene for adventure The first of its kind in the country, our midnight-blue sleeper sets the benchmark for luxury train travel in Ireland. Nonetheless, it’s elegant carriages are steeped in history, each named after a county of this spectacular land. They’re adorned with artwork inspired by Ireland’s natural wonders as well as furnishings, supplied by some of the country’s finest local artisans, including stone counters and wool carpets. Marrying contemporary panache with Dublin’s Georgian style, our carriages offer a restful haven as the train stables each night. In Kildare, our saloon-style Observation Car, you can enjoy traditional live music and admire the passing scenery from the large windows as the train crisscrosses patchwork fields and craggy coasts. It’s a place where, over a pint of Guinness, stories are shared of the day’s excursions: the Gothic church explored, the loch sailed, rare wildlife spotted. As the evening draws in, dine on seasonal food prepared to world-class standard in Sligo and Wexford, our two Restaurant Cars, with new-found friends. Accommodating just 40 passengers, Belmond Grand Hibernian guarantees the most intimate, convivial of atmospheres. As the great Irish poet W. B. Yeats once wrote: “There are no strangers here; only friends you haven’t met yet.” BELMOND GRAND HIBERNIAN BELMOND.COM/GRANDHIBERNIAN BELMOND GRAND HIBERNIAN BELMOND.COM/GRANDHIBERNIAN BELMOND GRAND HIBERNIAN BELMOND.COM/GRANDHIBERNIAN BELMOND GRAND HIBERNIAN BELMOND.COM/GRANDHIBERNIAN BELMOND GRAND HIBERNIAN BELMOND.COM/GRANDHIBERNIAN Your Carriage Awaits Double Cabin CABINS the finest ingredients and freshest Our cabins are rich in history yet have a seasonal produce from the regions the fresh, contemporary feel.

  • 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.
