    County Longford Tourism Statement of Strategy and Work Programme

    2017- 2022 County Longford Tourism Statement of Strategy and Work Programme 1 County Longford Tourism Statement of Strategy and Work Programme 2017-2022 FOREWORD BY CATHAOIRLEACH AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE The County Tourism Strategy is prepared by Longford County Council working in partnership with County Longford Tourism Committee, the representative body of all tourism interests within County Longford. This Strategy sets out the overall Vision for tourism in County Longford over the next 5 years. To place Longford Tourism into context, Fáilte Ireland figures from 2013 show that while 772,000 tourists visited the Midlands Region in 2013 only 3% (22,000) visited County Longford. Therefore, the aim of this Strategy is to grow that percentage share by developing a thriving tourism sector in a planned, co-ordinated and cohesive manner as set out in this Strategy. It includes an ambitious programme of work to be undertaken within the County over that period in order to build local products and services that appeal to the marketplace. Centrally it also recognises the collective contributory role the County has to play in facilitating and supporting planned regional tourism development and complementing national tourism initiatives such as Ireland’s Ancient East. A review of the programme of work outlined and completed under previous strategies undertaken from 2010 to 2016, combined with an analysis of the current strength of the tourism sector within the County helped us to prioritise actions going forward. Since 2010, the County Longford Tourism Committee has refocused attention and energy on the potential for the tourism sector to be the key economic driver for County Longford.
