What should tourism along the Dublin coast look like in 2036? Our community workshops invite local voices to help shape that future
About this Event

Fáilte Ireland has commenced work on a Dublin Coast Destination & Experience Development Plan (DEDP), which will be developed in close collaboration with local authorities, key agencies, tourism businesses, and coastal communities. This will be a five-year plan to sustainably grow the economic value of tourism along Dublin’s coast. The plan will set out a shared vision, key priorities, and a roadmap of actions to be delivered over its lifetime.

We are hosting community workshops to explore local perspectives and contribute to a shared vision for the Dublin coastline. These workshops are open to residents, community groups, organisations, and businesses based on – or connected to – Dublin’s coast. They will be interactive sessions and will focus on moving from where we are today, to where we want to be next, in terms of tourism along the Dublin coast.

In total, four public sessions are taking place along the Dublin coast. Participants will have the opportunity to:

Share what you love most about your place and what makes the Dublin coast distinctive
Reflect on the current role of tourism – what it contributes and what may need to evolve
Identify priorities and ideas that could strengthen the coast as a tourism destination
Contribute to a collective vision for Dublin Coast 2036

Insights gathered through these workshops will help inform the vision, objectives, priorities and project pipeline within the Dublin Coast DEDP. These workshops are commissioned by Fáilte Ireland and facilitated by our partners, Group NAO and The Place Bureau.

Please note:

Attendance is free, but places are limited
Advance registration is required
Light refreshments will be provided

We look forward to working with community partners to shape a positive and sustainable future for tourism development and growth along the Dublin coast. Your voice will play an important role in ensuring tourism continues to support thriving coastal communities in the years ahead.
