Already bracing itself for the loss of Fungie in 2021, tourism in Dingle is “at a crossroads,” a new tourism plan finds. Reputationally and in volume terms, the Dingle peninsula is a high-performing destination. But tourists spend little time and little money there and only key pockets benefit.
The volumes of visitor traffic around Slea Head and the Conor Pass are “huge” but the coaches, while clogging the roads, bring little value to the area, the plan says.
