If you love Kilkenny and have some time to spare, then this new tourism initiative might be just the thing for you.

The majority of people living in Ireland will seek to holiday at home this year and many will opt to take a Staycation. Kilkenny is already a popular visitor destination and is likely to be high on the list of places that people will choose to visit in 2020.

After the success of last year’s programme, Kilkenny County Council will once again be supporting the Kilkenny Welcome Team, where local volunteers will meet and greet visitors, providing a warm Kilkenny welcome along with helpful information, such as the opening hours to attractions, ATM locations, train and bus times and interesting snippets about Kilkenny.

The Kilkenny Welcome Team will be on hand at high footfall locations around Kilkenny city to provide this type of information. Welcome Team volunteers will be fully trained in Covid-19 protocols and public safety and comfort will be a priority at all times.
