Major coastal tourism route through Galway unveiled

It'll be Ireland's first long-distance driving route, stretching from the Inishowen Peninsula in Donegal to Kinsale in Cork.

The 2 thousand 500 kilometre route was unveiled following a public consultation process.

It includes 156 strategically placed discover points for tourists, many of which are in Galway.

Tourism operators and communities along the Galway section of the route will liaise with Fáilte Ireland to promote various local attractions.

Speaking to Galway Bay fm News, Fiona Monaghan from Fáilte Ireland West, says the Wild Atlantic Way will boost Galway as a tourism destination.
