Over 100 individuals and representatives of Dublin’s Docklands tourism and hospitality sector have today (Tuesday, 26th February) attended Fáilte Ireland’s Know Dublin Docklands Local Experts Programme workshops in the Spencer Hotel.
The Local Experts Programme is part of an initiative by Fáilte Ireland to develop a network of local people who share knowledge and interact positively with visitors to the Docklands area. The programme aims to develop a tourism business network, social media initiatives and to make every visitor engagement a truly positive one in order to ultimately grow tourism businesses and the local economy.
Speaking at the workshops, Linda Campbell, Visitor Engagement Manager with Fáilte Ireland said:
“Today’s attendance at the workshops, with over 100 individuals and representatives of tourism and hospitality businesses attending is evidence of how important tourism is to the wider Docklands economy.
As we know, Dublin is one of the most popular destinations in Ireland for international visitors and its attractions are brought to life every day by locals interacting with tourists. Visitors not only seek out local people and their advice, they trust it. More and more holidaymakers tell us that they rely on and trust the advice and information received from the local people they meet during their stay. This programme is building on that sentiment by inspiring all front-line employees and volunteers to turn every visitor interaction into a truly informative and positive experience and to help offer visitors relevant recommendations on places of interest to visit in the Docklands.”
