They'll be hosted by energy experts who will provide businesses with immediate, low-cost actions that they can take to improve their energy efficiency and reduce energy bills.

This is open to all tourism businesses across the county who register their attendance with Fáilte Ireland.

“The challenge for businesses in managing their energy costs is immense and Fáilte Ireland recognises that tourism businesses are being hit particularly hard by the energy cost challenge. In response to this, Fáilte Ireland is conducting practical in-person workshops nationwide to offer immediate guidance and information to businesses to help reduce their energy bills,” Jenny De Saulles, Director of Sector Development at Fáilte Ireland, said.

“Using less energy more efficiently is the most cost-effective and practical way for businesses to take action and we will be showing businesses how to implement easy changes. Created with energy experts these workshops are designed to offer businesses practical advice and best practise examples that can be adopted quickly for immediate effect. All tourism businesses in county Kerry are welcome to attend so we are encouraging businesses to register today.”
