New app-roach to tourists in Clare

FORTY-two tourism businesses from around Clare are being promoted to international visitors on a brand-new app for iPhones and android devices.
The app, called ‘Gathering Gestures’, has been created by Tourism Ireland specifically for The Gathering Ireland 2013 and offers a wide variety of gestures to ensure international visitors get more from their holiday here.
Examples of the gestures being offered by tourism businesses around the county include complimentary tea or coffee and home baking on arrival at B&Bs like Carramore Lodge in Killaloe, Knocknagow B&B in Newmarket-on-Fergus and Highbury House in Bunratty and a complimentary souvenir, offered by the likes of Luxury Yachting Ireland and the Aillwee Cave and Birds of Prey Centre. Complimentary assistance with genealogy research, for those who want to find out more about their Irish ancestry, is being offered by Newport House in Ennis and there’s a host of other added-value experiences like complimentary Irish coffees and special Gathering value menus from restaurants like Randaddy’s in Lahinch.
The app is now available and is free for people around the world to download before they arrive here.
