A pioneering initiative, comprising of 32 local tourism businesses from across Cavan and Fermanagh is leading the way in the emerging field of regenerative tourism.
Cuilcagh Lakelands Geopark has been facilitating a comprehensive 14-week training programme for local tourism businesses ranging from accommodation and activity providers, producers, retailers, and visitor attractions. Since completing the training, the 32 member businesses have formed the Cuilcagh Lakelands Geopark Regenerative Tourism Business Network, and have implemented a variety of initiatives to improve sustainability across their own businesses.
The success of the programme, which has been running since 2020, has seen the work of the Network inspiring other organisations to participate in sustainability training. With a focus on fostering best practice and environmental stewardship, the network offers a unique opportunity for tourists, operators, and others in the travel industry to learn about sustainable tourism practices that can be implemented globally.
