“Let’s meet the students” Tourism awareness project- By Heidi Woods Tourism Development
Officer
Inishowen
Tourism has focused their research and development on the children and
teenagers attending schools in Inishowen over the past week. On this occasion a welcome
addition to the theme of tourism was combined with education. Charlie McCarron
who has been compiling valuable research on a community engagement project
kindly invited the Inishowen Tourism team to present to the transitional (TY)
students at Crana College, Buncrana. He has been working closely within the
community, and it was a pleasure to provide students with some insight on the tourism
sector; marketing activities at Inishowen Tourism. This was an opportunity to
generate some ideas for their individual/group projects, and share thoughts on
their locality. A selection of short videos, a brief overview of the methods we
utilise, and a sample of our brochures we print were at hand for the students
to browse through during the session. We would like to thank Charlie McCarron,
and wish him well with his ongoing research.
