SLIGO IS OPEN – that’s the new message from Sligo Tourism this summer as the tourist season is reignited this month with hotels, restaurants and cafes opening their doors to the Irish tourism market with special offers, affordable holiday packages and more, all available to book at sligotourism.ie/offers/
It’s not just businesses that are open – Sligo boasts some of Ireland’s most extraordinary vistas; from the rolling mountain views of Knocknarea or the iconic tabletop mountain view of Benbulben, to the wide open beaches at Enniscrone, Rosses Point and Mullaghmore. From family reunions to time out with friends, the county offers the perfect backdrop to reconnect and enjoy the great outdoors this year.
Most recently, Sligo has also benefited from the global attention generated from the runaway success of Sally Rooney’s Normal People TV adaption which aired in late Spring. A substantial amount of the show was filmed in Co. Sligo including Streedagh Beach in North Sligo and Tubbercurry in South Sligo.
Key visitor destinations in Co. Sligo such as Eagles Flying Bird Sanctuary, The Model arts centre, the Yeats Building and Carrowmore Megalithic Tombs have all reopened along with many of Sligo’s great cafes, restaurants and activity providers across the county.
The key message today is that Sligo Is Open; we are re-starting the tourism season and reminding the domestic tourism market of the great opportunities we provide here in County Sligo. Sligo is open for business and we also have great open spaces.
Along with a world-class food offering, an exciting range of hospitality, arts and culture amenities, Sligo is also home to breathtaking walking trails and stunning landscapes, the roaring Atlantic ocean, wide open beaches and of course welcoming people, all within a short distance from Dublin.
Come join us in Sligo this summer, you won’t be disappointed!
