IRELAND ITGD 2017
From Ela Sooder
Tourist Guides from ATGI, the association of approved Tourist Guides of
Ireland braced the harsh February weather and the wild Atlantic storm
and organised a clean-up in the Burren Region in aid of the Burren Beo
Trust. The Burren are a truly unique karst landscape and together with
the nearby Cliffs of Moher form the UNESCO Geopark. The area,
measuring about 250km2 of which 1500 hectares are National Park,
supports arctic, alpine and medieval plants, is home to 23 different
types of Orchids and 28 types of butterflies. The protection and
conservation of this region is highly important and ATGI Guides are
delighted to support that cause on the International Tourist Guide day
and mark the year of sustainable tourism.
