In this podcast Alison talks about the importance of tourism being “future proofed” noting that “culture is the bedrock of the tourism experience.” In her role as Programme Manager, Alison is trying to help communities unravel the stories and “narrative” within their own community with a focus on putting “place making” before “place marketing” – we have all these layers of 100s and 100s of years of form and fabric that are in the towns of Ireland – North and South.
Alison talks about some of the Heritage Council’s recent initiatives like The Heritage Action Plan for Tipperary Town, a heritage led regeneration project focusing on the need to reuse and repurpose landmark and traditional buildings in the town centre.
