  • 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.

Some Monterey trees in Ireland By A. Mitchell, Agr.(Forest)B. At first sight it seems strange that trees found in nature only on the Monterey peninsula in California, a place of hot, dry summers, should grow with singular speed and luxuriance in cool, damp Ireland. In fact, they do not really like Monterey at all. They only grow there, which is not the same thing. During the onset of the Ice Ages, the trees of the R09ky Mountain complex could move south ahead of the cold, follo)"'­ ing their preferred climate towards, and into, Mexico, since the ranges run north and south. When this was (as we hope) all over, the trees migrated north again. Some, however, took a wrong turning. Erosion by the sea had cut the minor range and left the stub as a peninsula. The trees could go no further, and as the hills and valleys behind became drier and hotter, they could not retreat.
