30.01.18
THIS morning saw the
launch of the new 2018 Donegal Tourism brochure in
the County House in Lifford which features
everything you need to know about Donegal all in one
glossy publication.
Councillors and guests at this morning’s launch were
greeted by two Star Wars Stormtroopers in full
regalia who were on hand to help celebrate this
brochure launch in an 'orderly manner befitting such
an esteemed publication'.
Speaking at the launch Chief Executive of Donegal
County Council and Chairman of Donegal Tourism
Seamus Neely said that this brochure gives a flavour
of the fantastic facilities and attractions that we
have in the county and it brings to life a strong
visual image of Donegal for the potential visitor.
He said "this is the second edition of this brochure
and it beautifully captures many images that display
the diversity and majesty of Donegal. It sets out an
array of activities, places of interest and services
that are available to potential visitors".
He added that the new brochure has been increased by
an additional four pages bringing it to sixty pages
and the circulation of this brochure is now in
excess of 20,000 per year, throughout Ireland, UK,
USA, France, Germany and indeed the USA. |

Donegal Tourism Brochure on Monday morning in the

The brochure uses over
forty different themes and headings from popular
activities, such as surfing, golf, and Angling; to
unique Donegal amenities and resources, such as
local produce, Islands and the Gaeltacht and
festivals to allow the reader to easily plan their
visit.
New elements have been added including an extended
list of walks in the county, including eighty
official walk options, an updated cycling route
including the Eurovelo 1, and extended activities -
both land and water based, with a focus on the
Northern Lights and screen tourism, following on
from the success of the latest Star Wars offering
that was filmed in part in Malin Head.
Cathaoirleach Cllr. Gerry McMonagle welcomed the
launch of the brochure saying "it gives me great
pleasure to see the investment and commitment
Donegal Tourism continues to provide to our county
in terms of marketing Donegal on a national and
international basis. I truly believe that Donegal is
a world class holiday destination for the intrepid
visitor and is also a great place to live and do
business in".
He added "this brochure provides a window in to our
beautiful county and has reached out across the
world to our Diaspora and tourists alike to come
visit and experience a welcome that is second to
none. The layout and images are stunning and have
received much praise from near and far, not least
from other counties hoping to emulate the approach
adopted by Donegal Tourism in this brochure”.
The brochure also offers the visitor six recommended
touring routes for different regions of the county
in addition to the Wild Atlantic Way route which has
seen huge interest in the county.
Head of Tourism with Donegal County Council Barney
Mc Laughlin acknowledged the support received from
providers in producing this new brochure saying “we
are delighted to be able to source many new images
for the brochure to showcase Donegal, providers have
been so helpful in providing images free of charge
and we want to extend a huge thank you to them”.
