Visitor attractions and experiences on Donegal’s Wild Atlantic Way are set to benefit from a new funding call from Fáilte Ireland, Tourism Northern Ireland and Tourism Ireland.
The Coast-to-Coast Capital Investment Scheme, worth €3million, is making €1.5million available in Ireland and £1.25million available in Northern Ireland to enhance interpretation at sites north of the Wild Atlantic Way and along the Causeway Coastal Route.
The scheme is part of the Shared Island Tourism Brand Collaboration Project, and aims to encourage visitors to explore both tourist routes by improving the storytelling and immersive experience capabilities on offer in existing visitor attractions and experiences.
Tourism operators can apply for grants of a maximum value of €300,000.
“As an island renowned for our stories, it is important that we continue to enhance the ability for visitors to fully immerse themselves in our rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and vibrant communities,” said Tourism Minister Catherine Martin TD.
