Tralee Chamber Alliance (TCA) is calling for the development of a new visitor hub in the town with the courthouse building on Ashe street suggested as a potential location, should the courts be moved to the former Denny factory site.
The suggestion, which follows on from the Tralee Tourism Strategy which was published by Tralee Chamber in 2019, is part of the Alliance s ongoing campaign to revitalise the town centre and fill its many vacant premises.
The 2019 strategy highlighted the need for the development of a Visitor Hub in the centre of town as a key focal piece required for Tralee to truly develop as a Destination Town.
Improved access to Tralee Town Centre and the development of a Visitors Hub in the centre of the town are among proposals being highlighted by Tralee Chamber Alliance.
The two proposals are included in a roadmap to rebuilding Tralee prepared by the Chamber which describes them as game changing opportunities for the town.
The report suggests the development of a tourist information and trail visitor hub in the centre of the town which would provide information and be a central booking office for events and activities.
It says that such a facility would be a critical dimension of Destination Town plan for Tralee, as such hubs are proven to generate significant footfall.
