The Marketing & Promotions workshop took place today 19th May. We had a full attendance once again which shows the dedication Killeshandra has of making this project a success. Today we discussed on how to market and promote our area to the anglers. We are confident that Killeshandra is an angler’s paradise and we know we can give them an angling holiday of brilliance
We had good interaction with each other, learning how to put holiday packages together. Anglers will sometimes want to bring their families and we will aim to provide families with a package holiday to include walking golfing canoeing, tennis , crazy golf and guided nature trails, to name but a few. We are lucky now to have a number of qualified angling guides in the area to assist first time anglers and set them on the right path to catch that fish.
They hub group are meeting next week to expand on what we have learned and put into action some of the ideas discussed at the workshop.
Are you planning a fishing holiday in Ireland? Come to Killeshandra and let us at Eonish Lodge look after you.

The first “Anglers Welcome” workshop in Killeshandra took place today. The Theme of the workshop was “Servicing your Angling Customer”. Those attending were made up of accommodation providers, fishing tackle shops proprietors, publicans, retail and restaurants proprietors. The enthusiasm of these people of Killeshandra to make sure anglers have a good experience and enjoy their stay in the area was encouraging.
The Northern Regional Fisheries Board spoke with us about the importance having up to date angling information for the angler and being aware of the needs of the angler. Failte Ireland also issued a charter to ensure each premises welcomes anglers and ensures that their stay is a comfortable, safe and enjoyable experience.
We also had a presentation on good customer care and the necessity of providing the visitor with a service beyond their expectations. By working together we know we can provide the angler with a consistent service of high quality that we will want to deliver and the angler will benefit from.
Our next workshop is on “Marketing / Promotion skills” and takes place on the 19th May.

Failte Ireland met with the people of Killeshandra today to discuss the aim of Killeshandra providing an “Anglers Welcome”. The aim of this project is to work with local operators and services to realise the full potential of the area, as an angling centre offering the full angling holiday experience.
In the next few weeks a series of workshops will be run to train the different sections of the community to the needs of our visiting anglers and their families. We, the accommodation providers, will work closely with the fishery board, fishing guides, angling club, restaurants, pubs and other services in Killeshandra and surrounding area to provide an angling destination where anglers will want to return year after year. This project will aim to enhance the area for all visitors and aims to make the area a place where visitors will have a truly memorable and enjoyable stay.

Two Pike angler from Switzerland stayed in our self catering last week. They had a good weeks fishing and caught 64 pike and were really delighted with their catch. Weather was very good all week and they fished every day from the boat, started most days at 10 am and finished at about 5.30 pm. Two happy anglers going home tomorrow.
Killeshandra has been selected by Fáilte Ireland to be one of a few ANGLING AMBASSADOR towns in the country. This is good news for Killeshandra and means that Killeshandra will be branded as a ‘centre of excellence’ for angling. This is great news and I am looking forward to see what plans are for the area and how it is going to be developed.
