Visions and Strategies
As Mayor of County Waterford, I am delighted to pen a few words of
introduction to this most innovative work - a Walking Strategy for County
Waterford. I am particularly delighted that it is a work which has been conducted
and led by Waterford County Council. I am also delighted that it is a work which
has been developed in a true spirit of partnership. In particular, it has been a
collaboration among state and local development agencies, most especially the
Regional Tourism Authority, Waterford Leader Partnership and Waterford Sports
Partnership. It has, however, also been developed in partnership with the
communities of County Waterford and with all the interested stakeholders.
There is now a national recognition of the need to invest time and thinking into
the whole area of physical recreation and activity.
There is also recognition of the need to invest resources into the development of facilities and services in these areas to provide for the needs of both our communities and our visitors. Our tourists, our urban communities and our countryside demand it. Our health and our pockets also demand it. As a nation we do not participate in enough physical exercise and, from a tourism perspective, if we do not have enough top-quality tourism product in place at the right price, the potential visitor will, quite simply, go somewhere else. Walking, then, is the way by which we can address both situations.
In Waterford, we have an absolutely stunning landscape and a potentially brilliant walking product when fully developed. The combination of our mountains, valleys, woodlands and coasts is unsurpassed anywhere - either at home or abroad.
Mayor of County Waterford
