Welcoming the announcement that the Burren is one of seven sites around Ireland which have been submitted by Minister John Gormley to the UN as potential nominees to the World Heritage list Pat Daly, Tourism and Marketing Division Manager, Shannon Development said;
“Securing this prestigious status for the Burren would be a tremendous boost for tourism in the Clare area. The World Heritage List includes almost 900 properties world wide and forms part of the cultural and natural heritage which are considered as having outstanding universal value. Being added to this list would increase recognition and worldwide awareness of the Burren as a place of importance. As the tourism authority for the Shannon Region it would assist us in our efforts to market and promote this wonderful location.”
