Waterford City & County Council’s Post

Waterford has recently marked the successful conclusion of the Fáilte Ireland Destination Towns initiative, a groundbreaking project that has significantly enriched the visitor experience within the city. The project, generously supported by a €500,000 investment from Fáilte Ireland , has achieved its objectives, breathing new life into #Waterford City's cultural and historical treasures. The initiative was celebrated in the presence of esteemed guests, including Mary Houlihan, Manager for Ireland's Ancient East at Fáilte Ireland, alongside local councillors, and representatives from the business community. The project's core goals were clearly defined at its inception: 1️⃣Reinforcing the Viking Story: Waterford City embarked on a mission to deepen the understanding of its Viking #heritage. This was achieved by demarcating the Viking Triangle's boundaries and introducing cutting-edge digital orientation tools. 2️⃣Wayfinding Improvements: A comprehensive wayfinding scheme was developed, ensuring that visitors can effortlessly navigate the city. This included innovative content generation techniques. 3️⃣Mapping Enhancements: The project unveiled a new city map, highlighting various city zones and emphasizing Waterford's walkability. 4️⃣Car Park Reidentification: Signage and banners, denoting the city's #attractions, were strategically placed at car parks to provide a warm welcome and promote the city's charms. The culmination of these efforts has yielded tangible results, enhancing Waterford City's appeal to tourists and locals alike. https://wp.me/p7mV1y-3oi #Tourism
