2025 Community Meeting Schedule – Connemara & Islands Region
Fáilte Ireland is pleased to confirm that work has begun on a new Destination and Experience Development Plan (DEDP) for the Connemara & Islands region in 2025.
A DEDP provides a shared vision and clear direction towards strengthening and growing an area’s market share of tourism revenues, enhancing the overall visitor appeal through the provision of targeted investment and support.
Connemara and the Islands is already benefiting significantly from the previous Connemara & Islands DEDP which was launched in 2018, and a new DEDP is set to be launched in 2027.
Fáilte Ireland would like to invite anyone with an interest in sustainably growing tourism to Connemara and the Islands Region to be part of a series of community meetings taking place throughout the area during October and November 2025.
Tourism businesses, community groups, tourism bodies, agencies and volunteers are all welcome to attend and participate in shaping a vision for this unique area of the Co. Galway on the Wild Atlantic Way.
