Recreation & Sports Fishing lakes, boating on the River Shannon, Golfing, International rugby and soccer matches at Croke Park. Cities Many people visit cities like Dublin for short weekend breaks. They visit the museums, theatres, art galleries, and other historic buildings.

Many people are employed in the tourist industry. Q. Why do people visit Co.Clare? 1. It is a centre of traditional Irish music. 2. Bunratty Castle and Folk Park show medieval life in Ireland. 3.

14 Tourism in Co. Clare

15 Q. Identify 4 tourist attractions shown on the map.

16 Money brought into the area tourists spend on accommodation, food and activities ADVANTAGES OF TOURISM

17 Facilities can be developed that local people can also use. These may not have been built without tourist numbers coming to an area eg Aquadome, Tralee, Tayto Park, Meath

18 New roads, railways can be built to allow tourists to travel more freely. Eg.new road around Slea Head, Co. Kerry Local airports can be used to gain access to tourist areas. Eg Knock Airport.

19 DISADVANTAGES OF TOURISM Litter and rubbish can be left in scenic beach areas, This causes pollution. Beaches can become polluted and dangerous for swimming and water sports Rubbish can be left in mountaineous areas due to too many tourists visiting the area and not enough bins being provided. This can deter visitors from visiting certain places in Ireland Noise pollution can disturb families and destroy a holiday. Many holiday camp areas have deadline after which loud music cannot be played

20 Land in tourist areas tends to be higher in price. This means that if a site comes up for sale, locals may not be able to afford it and a holiday company may buy it. Sometimes locals can resent the change over of land from agriculture to tourism.

21 Over crowding can lead to a shortage of facilities in an area when they are not increased to cope with the greater numbers of tourists. This can apply to transport, shopping areas and recreation facilities
