Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
<h3>Killarney&rsquo;s reputation as a good place to visit is down to its main attractions being free to visit.</h3>
The opinion was gleaned from extensive online research conducted in late 2021 &ndash; which included a separate visitor sentiment survey &#8211; commissioned by Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce and conducted by professional independent marketing consultants Repucon.
The key findings in the visitor sentiment survey were based on a total of 500 interviews conducted at a range of sampling points throughout the town over the last two weekends in August.
Repucon&rsquo;s Mark O&rsquo;Connell presented the survey&rsquo;s findings to Chamber members at the special lunch meeting at the International Hotel on Wednesday.
He encouraged Killarney businesses to promote the fact that the town&rsquo;s main attractions are free to use.
Some of the main reasons for visiting included visiting Muckross House and Gardens, Torc Waterfall and the Gap of Dunloe.
Almost 50% of visitors said they visited the National Park with 46% visiting Muckross House and Gardens.
&ldquo;Visitors do not have to spend a penny once they arrive in Killarney, not one brown cent&ndash; that is not being said enough,&rdquo; he told the meeting.
