Walking Killarney National Park Ireland
The red carpet was on display recently when the sales team of leading Dutch tour operator SNP Natuurreizen visited Killarney. Specialists in walking and activity holidays, they were here in Kerry to find out more about the wonderful walking routes and trails on offer in the South West and to experience at first-hand the spectacular countryside in Killarney.

“The visit of this influential sales team from SNP Natuurreizen is an excellent opportunity for us to showcase the world-class walking product on offer in Kerry and the South West. There really is no substitute for being able to come and experience the product at first-hand; it helps them to know exactly what Kerry has to offer and to sell more effectively when they return home and encourage more Dutch people to consider a walking holiday here” said Monica Nerney, Tourism Ireland’s Manager Northern Europe.

“Tourism Ireland in the Netherlands has had an extensive promotional programme in place right throughout 2010; walking is one of the activities we are promoting, highlighting Killarney and Kerry as a fantastic walking destination. It is absolutely essential that we convey the message that there has never been a better time for Dutch people to visit the island of Ireland”.
