Gaeltachta initiative is the development and promotion of Cultural Tourism. The Authority's objective is to brand and promote the Gaeltacht areas as very different holiday destinations, because of the Irish language, spoken as a community language, and because of the ethos of the Gaeltacht, reflected in its music, song and dance in areas naturally endowed with some of Ireland's finest scenery. This tourism initiative is being pursued through the effective use and promotion of the brand name GaelSaoire, holidays in the Gaeltacht. |
