Boost for Kilkenny tourism with a number of local attractions recognised on a national level

Local tourism’s getting another boost today with a number of outlets listed at the CIE Tours International Annual Awards of Excellence.

The accolades recognise the best hotels & attractions across the country, based on feedback from over 32,000 customers throughout the year.

Kilkenny Castle, the Smithwick’s Experience & Gretta Power’s Bungalow Farmhouse B&B in Clomantagh as well as the Dunbrody Famine Ship in New Ross are among Leinster’s Visit Merit winners.

While Dublin’s Academy Plaza Hotel, which is owned by Castlecomer couple Joe & Julie Comerford, is one of 12 down for regional hotel merit.
