Malin Head Visitor Management Plan
14.02.20
Joint Statement by
Donegal County Council and Fáilte Ireland
DONEGAL County Council and Fáilte Ireland are
working with the local community, key agencies,
business partners and stakeholders to deliver a
Visitor Management Plan for Malin Head. The aim of
this plan is to leverage Malin Head’s position as
the most northerly signature discovery point on the
Wild Atlantic Way. It will also help guide the
future development of tourism for the wider area in
a sustainable way that will deliver strong economic
benefits to the local community.
A Joint Statement issued by Donegal County Council
and Fáilte Ireland on 24th January outlined the
consultation process with the local community and
various stakeholders on the plan. The potential for
the development of walking as a key visitor
experience is being considered and some walking
routes in the area were identified for potential
development. |
 |
In light of concerns
arising in the locality, a review of the walking
route concepts and associated mapping, was
undertaken by both agencies. These routes are now
being withdrawn from the draft Visitor Management
Plan.
As part of the overall process, and at a future
date, it is proposed that we will look for
expressions of interest from local farmers and
landowners to develop walking route proposals in
full consultation with the landowners concerned.
Donegal Co. Council and Fáilte Ireland are committed
to working collaboratively with all stakeholders in
the area to deliver a plan that will provide unique
opportunities for tourism and economic development
for Malin Head. |
