Explaining the programme, Amanda Boyle, Visitor Engagement, with Fáilte Ireland said:
“Increasingly visitors tell us that they rely on and really trust the advice and information received from local people they meet while on holiday. This programme aims to help inspire front-line employees and volunteers to turn every visitor encounter into a truly informative and positive experience. Having completed the programme participants will have complete confidence in making informed ‘what to do’ recommendations to visitors. ”
