Sustainable Tourism Management within Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands: Utilising the European tourism indicator system
 

Researcher: Fiona McKenna (BS, MSc)
Supervisor:Dr. James Hanrahan

‘Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands’ is a recent addition to Fáilte Ireland’s tourism regional experience. It is centred around the more rural areas of Ireland (the midlands), that include natural assets such as the river Shannon, walking trails, greenways and woodlands. This research is examining implementing a sustainable tourism management system based on the European tourism indicator system (ETIS). It is gathering data on businesses, communities and visitors within Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands in relation to its economic, social and environmental sustainability.
