A great night of networking, collaboration and celebration of East Galway’s tourism offering at the Uniquely East Galway Network Event in the Raheen Woods Hotel, Athenry.

Around 100 tourism operators, local businesses, community organisations and tourism partners came together to celebrate the progress being made in developing East Galway as a visitor destination and explore opportunities for future growth.

The event showcased local tourism projects and businesses, highlighted available funding and supports, and unveiled new promotional resources, including an East Galway tourism video, updated visitor map and new photography.

Organised by Loretta Raftery and Galway County Council’s Tourism Team, the event provided a valuable opportunity to make new connections, share ideas and strengthen partnerships across the region.

Galway County Council would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to a very positive evening, with particular thanks to Fáilte Ireland for its support.

Working together, we can build on the investment already made, raise East Galway’s profile and encourage more visitors to discover all that the region has to offer.
