Description

Description (EN):

Ballinaglera and Boho propose to work in partnership to establish green tourism projects for their villages and townlands, which would include: § Leisure and adventure sports § Holistic health and relaxation § Heritage, Culture and Learning Leisure Ballinaglera will focus on developing sports and activities based on Lough Allen and the surrounding mountains; developing holistic health facilities; and using the rich heritage of the area and its people to develop learning leisure packages. Boho will focus on developing sports and activities based on fishing, walking and caving/potholing. Joint festivals, businesses and activities will be developed.

Achievements (EN):

Since inception, the Ballinaglera (Co Leitrim) Boho (Co Fermanagh) Tourism Partnership has accomplished a host of initiatives ranging from providing support and organising various local cross-border events such as the Lough Allen Festival, Dowra Fair Day and the Boho Festival to designing and producing new ecotourism packages featuring the region for submission to the Greenbox Ecotourism Body for accreditation. Capital funding was obtained to provide a new commercial kitchen and a roof for an extension to the Ballinaglera Community Hall as well as for a meeting room extension for the Boho Community Centre. The project has organised a series of meetings to explore the potential of ecotourism with tourism providers in both areas. Walks were developed in both areas which are now going forward for national certification. Web-based marketing for both communities was undertaken which led to the heritage and culture of the area being featured in a ‘Ramblings’ programme broadcast recently on BBC Radio Four.
