Roscommon. These day trips have proved both highly popular & informative for the people & businesses/attractions that have taken part in them to-date.<br />
<br />
The aim of each trip is to provide people in the County's tourism industry, with more information with which to be 'armed', when talking to customers & visitors in their own business or attraction, on places to see & visit in Co. Roscommon.<br />
<br />
This particular trip took in visits to attractions in both the north & south of Co. Roscommon, the Drum Heritage Centre, Glendeer Pet Farm, Derryglad Folk Museum, the Claypipe Museum in Knockcroghery, Strokestown Park House & Famine Museum, Rathcroghan Visitor Centre, King House & the Una Bhan Craft Shop.<br />
<br />
Thankyou to everyone involved for making this trip possible, the hosts, the 'trippers', the coach company & of course the guy's at the RCTN who organised it.<br />
<br />
If you would like to be involved in future trip(s), whether as a host or 'tripper', please contact the RCTN via our e-mail at, <a href="mailto:roscommonctn@gmail.com">roscommonctn@gmail.com</a>. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Roscommon Community Tourism Network invites all tourism related
businesses and interested individuals to the launch of the 2014 Tourist Season
and the Premier of a series of tourism related promotional videos at the Abbey
Hotel, Roscommon on Wednesday the 16th April, 2014 at 7.30pm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Over the course of the busy 2013 tourism season, Roscommon Community
Tourism Network with the support of Roscommon Leader Partnership, the
County Council and the local tourism trade recorded a series of short
broadcast quality videos of what Roscommon has to offer to the tourist visitor.
Online video has been identified by several research organisations as the
most effective way to engage with the tourism market, a point that was proven
with Failte Ireland’s recent ‘Ireland Inspires’ video which
recently achieved viral status with millions of views from all over
the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The exciting new Roscommon videos highlight the top tourism attractions,
Hotels, B+B’s, restaurants and services available in the County and mark the
start of the 2014 Roscommon Tourism campaign. This new campaign
builds on the success of previous campaigns by the Roscommon Community Tourism
Network, such as the redevelopment of the Visit Roscommon website, the re-branding and
re-positioning of the County as a place where visitors can-
'Revive/Refresh/Rewind'. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The evening will commence at 7.30pm sharp and in addition to the
screening of the various themed videos, the evening will also include a
short address by Roscommon Community Tourism Network before finishing with
refreshments. For more details or to get your business involved in

(RCTN) are delighted with the successful achievements in promoting tourism in the
County during the first six months of 2013 and are delighted to update you on the
achievements and our plans for the future.<br />
<br />
RCTN are continuing to find new and novel ways to market County Roscommon and its
tourism product with the new branding, which was successfully launched last
year at the Volvo Ocean Race Festival in Galway. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of Roscommon Leader Partnership and on-going support from Roscommon County
Council, Fáilte Ireland and Momentum Consulting, to support us as we mould our
ideas into workable plans, we continue to develop and grow our unique product
and identity on a national and international scale as an active and progressive
force in the relatively recent move into the Lakelands and Inland Waterways
region of central Ireland. RCTN now have in excess of 250 businesses, sites, events
and festivals recorded as being active in the Roscommon tourism market, all of
which benefit from the continued efforts of the RCTN and fellow contributors in
attracting new and returning visitors to the county.<br />
<br />
RCTN have continued the marketing campaign by re-printing and up-dating the Events
Guide, packed with discount vouchers and deals for 2013, as well as working
behind the scenes to actively promote County Roscommon in new and enterprising
ways. The RCTN continue to be available to assist members of the Roscommon
tourism trade, with a greater understanding and knowledge of what is available
for their guests to see and enjoy around the county with organised
‘familiarisation tours’ and together with the organisational skills of Una Bhan
Tourism and Rathcroghan Visitor Centre, we
have recently completed the training of the six nominated Community Tourism
Centres around the county, (details of which can be found in the essential
guide to Roscommon booklet, or on the new website, </span><a href="http://blogspot.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=524a706309ee1ff9250d5072d&id=3bd45383a5&e=3a05e9798a" target="_blank"><span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">www.visitroscommon.com</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">).
As it is the year of ‘The Gathering’ we have also been involved with helping to
promote Roscommon County Council’s flagship event ‘The Return of the Rossies’ a
Gathering Celebration for Roscommon held in May. <br />

The social media marketing campaign, continues to move forward and promote the
county to a wider world, utilising;- <o:p></o:p></span></div>

group who have been involved since the start up in 2010, taking advantage of
individuals experiences in key market area’s and securing Leader Grants to aid
the establishment and development of the Roscommon tourism brand. With Leader
funds now unsure until the new grant period beginning in 2014, the RCTN faces
new challenges in raising the funds to maintain the momentum already
established over the last three years or so and to continue the county marketing
programme that has proven so effective in attracting new visitors to our
sometimes forgotten county. This work, as well as the physical paper booklets
and internet sites, also includes a marketing and tourism advice presence at
Ireland West Airport Knock, where County’s Roscommon and Leitrim are being
promoted to arriving and departing visitors, friends and family from Ireland
and abroad, in the arrivals and departure halls of the main terminal building. This
presence is a joint initiative by Roscommon and Leitrim County Councils. The
marketing of County Roscommon has never been more active and indeed pro-active
than it is at present and the RCTN are pleased to be an integral part of this
strategy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

What have we been up to in 2012?</h1>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1354887825768_137" style="padding: 0px;">
As 2012 moves inexorably towards its eventual conclusion and everybody gears up for the festive season, we at the Roscommon Community Tourism Network (RCTN) thought that this would be a good opportunity to provide everybody with an update into our achievements so far and our proposed plans for the future.<br /><br />It has been an enormously successful and busy year for everyone involved with promoting tourism in County Roscommon and the volunteers with the RCTN have had a leading role in much of the new marketing and promotional campaign, which has for the first time provided physical promotional material, identifying the rich history, beautiful scenery, abundant recreational activities and visitor attractions, events and festivals, for visitors to our county. With the aid of and thanks to the Roscommon Leader Partnership, Roscommon County Council and of course Fáilte Ireland and the efforts of Momentum Consulting to help mould our ideas into workable plans, the marketing campaign was successfully launched at this year’s Volvo Ocean Race Festival in Galway, as we moved from being a small time bit player in what was the Fáilte West region, into an active and progressive mover in the new Lakelands and Inland Waterways region of central Ireland. We also had a successful promotional presence at the National Ploughing Championships later in the year.<br /><br />After its launch in April 2010, the RCTN has been working behind the scenes to actively promote County Roscommon in new and enterprising ways. You may have seen us working to provide members of the Roscommon tourism trade, with a greater understanding and knowledge of what is available for their guests to see and enjoy around the county with several organised ‘familiarisation coach tours.’ In addition we have now organised two highly visible and successful ‘Showcase Roscommon’ events this year, promoting tourism related businesses across the county, the first held in Gleeson’s Townhouse and Restaurant in March and the second at the Strokestown Agricultural Show in September; together with the organisational skills of Una Bhan Tourism who have recently helped create and train six Community Tourism Centres around the county, (details of which can be found in the essential guide to Roscommon booklet, or on the new website,<a href="http://blogspot.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=524a706309ee1ff9250d5072d&id=3bd45383a5&e=3a05e9798a" rel="nofollow" style="color: maroon; outline: 0px;" target="_blank">www.visitroscommon.com</a>) you can see the progress we are beginning to make in promoting Roscommon as a new and exciting tourism destination for people in Ireland and overseas.<br /><br />Our plans for next year obviously take into account promotions around ‘The Gathering 2013’ and we will be seeking to produce a revised event guide for the year ahead, including these gatherings and more discounts and vouchers. We will also be looking to continue showcasing the county at events both within and outside the county over the forthcoming months. Additional features are being planned for the above website and also keep an eye on the two Facebook pages<a href="http://blogspot.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=524a706309ee1ff9250d5072d&id=a28221a3e2&e=3a05e9798a" rel="nofollow" style="color: maroon; outline: 0px;" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/RoscommonTourism</a> and <a href="http://blogspot.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=524a706309ee1ff9250d5072d&id=1fd2ad5d9d&e=3a05e9798a" rel="nofollow" style="color: maroon; outline: 0px;" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/roscommon.ie</a> or our blogspot<a href="http://blogspot.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=524a706309ee1ff9250d5072d&id=8f784b4ab5&e=3a05e9798a" rel="nofollow" style="color: maroon; outline: 0px;" target="_blank">www.rostourism.blogspot.com</a> where we will be advertising developments as they occur. It is also proposed that we hold open meetings to the public every month or second month, to ensure that the community voice is heard and that ideas get to be discussed on a wider spectrum and if necessary can be directed forward to the proper people and organisations to help bring the idea through to fruition.<br /><br />All in all, we have come a long way and set down some solid foundations, we are now looking to build upon them and develop tourism in this county as a flourishing and self-sustaining industry for the future and for all our benefits.

It has been estimated that some 800,000 people visited the city & docks during the week long festivities & a vast amount of advertising material & information was distributed by the volunteers on the stand during those days. Well done to everyone involved in promoting the County with such enthusiasm & spirit. We were the only County to take advantage of 'demo slots' & congratulations to the Cruachan Ai Visitor Centre, Gleeson's Townhouse & Restaurant, Castlemine Farm, Molloys Bakery, Roscommon Chocolate, Frances Crowe, Michelle Fallon, Feile Frank McGann, Conor Tivnan & Alex Burke for entertaining the crowd on their respective days.<br />
The week was without doubt a big success & we are now looking to get started on our next project to promote the County, watch for more details soon.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Roscommon County Council nominated the RCTN for the National Pride of Place Awards.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The winners of the 9th Co-operation Ireland All-Island Pride of Place
Competition were announced on Saturday, 5 November, in the Amber
Springs Hotel, Gorey, County Wexford, and unfortunately, RCTN did not receive a prize on the evening. But congratulations to Shull Development Association, Co Cork, who came first in our cetegory!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Phil Hogan TD, Minister for
Minister for the Environment, Community & Local Government announced
the winners at the gala ceremony, which was hosted by Wexford County
Council and part sponsored by Failte Ireland, Indaver and IPB. Tom Dowling, Chairman of Pride of Place, said: "The competition is
about showing respect and inclusion for every sector in our communities,
young, old, rich or poor and creating communities to which the people
are proud to say they belong".</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Peter Sheridan, Chief Executive of Co-operation Ireland, said: “The unique All-Island Pride of Place competition has a positive effect
on communities throughout the island of Ireland. It highlights local
authorities commitment to supporting groups who undertake initiatives to
improve their communities. Although there can only be one winner in
each category, tonight is a opportunity to recognise and celebrate the
efforts of all groups. ”Given the economic climate, we have been delighted with the interest
there has been in this year’s competition. It is an indication of the
flourishing community spirit there is around the island of Ireland.
Tonight is our opportunity to recognise and celebrate those within our
community who do so much but who rarely get the recognition they
deserve.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">During the evening, the Minster paid tribute to all the participating
groups who work tirelessly to create and promote pride in their cities,
towns and villages (or county, in our case!).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The Pride of Place Competition recognises and celebrates the vital
contributions that community partnerships make to society. The focus is
on people coming together to shape, change and enjoy all that is good
about their local area. It differs from other similar projects in that
they specifically recognise the involvement of the local community in
all aspects of rural and urban regeneration including, promoting social
cohesion, involvement in planning, the promotion of heritage and
environmental awareness.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This is the tenth year of the Pride of Place Competition, which is
run by Co-operation Ireland in partnership with the All-Island Local
Authority Steering Forum, a forum which encourages strategic and
sustainable approaches to cross-border co-operation by Local
Authorities. Nominating bodies including Local Authorities from practically every
county in Ireland have nominated groups in their local area. Each of the
nominees demonstrated what can be achieved when people work together to
enhance and change parts of their area for the good of the whole
community.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In June 2011, Roscommon Community Tourism
Network and Cruachan Aí worked together to raise awareness of all the wonderful
things to see and do in Roscommon County.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We organised a PRIDE OF ROSCOMMON art competition. The purpose of
the competition was to highlight what’s on offer on your doorstep and to give
the people of Roscommon a renewed sense of pride in the richness of our
county.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

Schools in the county. The theme of the competition was Roscommon and we
hoped that this would inspire the pupils (and parents/visitors) to think about their county and what it
means to them. </span><br />

if you don't play in a formal band or group - are you interested in
being available (strictly YOUR choice) to come in and play, at short
notice? Publicans, for example, want to be able to call on someone, if
they find the bar full and a clamour for "a bit of trad" or "a bit of
craic"! The Roscommon Musicians directory / database will facilitate
this. If you would like to make your musical ser<span class="text_exposed_show">vices
available (for a fee, or for free), email your details to roscommonctn@gmail.com.
Your contact details will be included in the directory. After that it's
up to you and the person who calls you to agree a fee. There is no
charge for inclusion in the directory. Roscommon Community Tourism
Network is providing that service. Do it now - he who hesitates, is out
of pocket!! :)</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IE" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">The Roscommon County Development Board, has developed
the ‘Roscommon Tourism strategy 2010 – 14’ and an integral part of the new
structure, will be the development of a Community Tourism Network, to aid the
development of quality projects in local communities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IE" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">The Roscommon Integrated Development Company, (LEADER)
will develop and support the Community Tourism Network through the 2007 – 13
Leader programme. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IE" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">The development of a local Community Tourism Network
could play an important role in the continuing development of tourism in the
county. The need was identified at local workshops, carried out in preparation
for the development of the Roscommon Tourism Strategy document. The feedback
given by community groups outlined that there was a desire at community level
to make an impact on tourism in local areas.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IE" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">The Roscommon Community Tourism Network was therefore
established in April 2010, after a number of training seminars with Westbic, by
a group of volunteers meeting on average once a month. A formal press launch
followed in September with the Mayor of Roscommon as guest of honour. The group
have now progressed the formal formation of the company. We see our general role as one of aiding you
the organising individuals and committee’s, by streamlining training
opportunities, assisting in grant requests and helping develop project ideas.
We must be said though, that we ourselves are not a source of funding.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IE" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">The development of a local community network, will
have the responsibility towards organising events and programmes in their own
immediate area; such as guided walk programmes, managing the trails and
signposting,</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">
liasing</span><span lang="EN-IE" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"> with farmers / businesses / private owners. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">You</b> as the organiser, would be responsible for arranging the
activities of your event; such as from arranging farm or house open days, to
visit and access arrangements, servicing visitors to the area, supporting Tidy
Towns activities and even managing the conservation activities such as dry
stone walling and tree planting and general restoration works, in order to
enhance the experience you / your group would be offering.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IE" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">The aim is to maximise the potential of the people in
the county to support tourism initiatives and to secure the social,
environmental and economic benefits thereof.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IE" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">The local networks could increase the ability of
communities to work together and to learn from one another and to be partners
in their own community tourism networks. They could also identify gaps in
products and services on offer to the visitor and seek to secure grants towards
the funding of marketable projects, identify the training and development needs
of the community and provide the training required on that basis.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IE" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">It is widely recognised that community groups are the
key players in any development and delivery of local tourism projects
throughout the county. It is appreciated that it is not an easy task and
involves a huge amount of voluntary time and effort, but it is hoped that via
the RIDC, we will be able to facilitate your local community to achieve its
goal(s).</span></div>
