Councillors have warned there is one chance to create an appropriate tourism masterplan for the iconic Glendalough.
Members of Wicklow County Council received an update on the progress of the €500,000 plan being developed by consultants on behalf of Failte Ireland during their December meeting. Representatives from Consarc Consultants, who are leading the development of the plan, and others from the taskforce outlined some of the work completed on the project to date, which aims to create a plan to respond to an expected growth in tourists visiting the area.
While councillors welcomed the development of a tourism plan, concerns were raised about the level of engagement so far between the consultants and local communities.
