Shannon Development welcomes the announcement today (29 August 2006) by Minister for Arts Sports and Tourism, John O’Donoghue TD, of the appointment of Chairpersons for five new Regional Tourism Development Boards. This further development in the establishment of new regional tourism structures follows on the Minister’s announcement in November 2005 that Shannon Development would continue in its role as the Regional Tourism Development Agency for the Shannon Region. Shannon Development is in discussions with the Shannon Region tourism trade regarding appropriate tourism arrangements that will focus on the particular challenges and opportunities for tourism in this region. Shannon Development looks forward to working closely with the tourism trade in the region, and with Fáilte Ireland, to ensure that tourism will continue to be a key driver of regional economic development in the Shannon Region.
