Double the fun as locals and visitors alike snap up Killarney Magazine
T
TWINS Laura and Sarah Murphy were the fitting choice to launch the new Killarney Magazine this week as the publication is proving a double success, appealing to both locals and visitors alike.
The team at Killarney Advertiser is delighted to present readers in Killarney and from across the globe with what is the town’s first premium tourist publication.
A riveting read, this glossy, free magazine showcases our town to dazzling effect and is a page-turningly good read, sharing as it does sought-after insider knowledge and hidden gems.
“We noticed that there was no premium visitor magazine that captured the uniqueness of the our beautiful town. It is very much of Killarney featuring local writers, photographers and designers. Feedback has been amazing since we published last week,” said Aidan Quirke, business development manager of Killarney Advertiser and Killarney Magazine. “We are planning for next season’s publication already.”
Killarney Magazine offers a wonderful trip back in time thanks to illuminating pieces that history buffs will enjoy (for instance, Breda Joy’s overview of the history of Muckross House).
But it is also something that will help you keep your finger on the pulse with insider tips and information on making the most of a visit to Killarney.
Leaf through the colourful pages to be wowed by or reminded of the attractions that have earned Killarney its enviable status as Ireland’s preeminent tourist destination.
We hope we will also tempt you to veer off the beaten track to make your experience of our town and it surrounds your very own.
An excellent resource for the traveller and a handy reference guide for local residents, Killarney Magazine emerged from a pool of local talent and it features leading writers from what is a world-renowned literary and cultural hotbed.
The magazine, designed by Damien Switzer, has been distributed throughout Killarney, including hotels, the tourist office and a host of visitor attractions. You can also check out its website at http://www.killarneymagazine.com
