A renewed focus on attracting tourists to Ireland from India, the UAE and the Asia-Pacific region will receive millions of euro in Government funding under a plan set to be announced today.<\/p>\n
Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment Peter Burke will set out his department’s \u20ac4.7 billion capital investment strategy for the next five years.<\/p>\n
The expenditure is part of the Government’s National Development Plan<\/p>\n
A new era beckons for Irish tourism according to plans for the sector which will be published later.<\/p>\n
It will be underpinned by new direct flights from several countries including Canada, the US, India and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n
More than \u20ac77m will be made available to promote the country overseas especially in regions which may have been ignored in recent years.<\/p>\n
It is expected the allocations will include \u20ac1.1bn to support home-grown enterprises, \u20ac400m for the tourism industry and \u20ac100m for large-scale sites for the development of the next generation of computer chips and pharmaceutical manufacturing.<\/p>\n
A new initiative called ‘Start up Ireland’ to support Irish companies seeking to become global brands, will be established.<\/p>\n
There will also be \u20ac300m to aid firms to decarbonise, while \u20ac190m will be made available to quicken the adoption of AI technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A renewed focus on attracting tourists to Ireland from India, the UAE and the Asia-Pacific region will receive…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45021,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[72,113,61,60],"class_list":["post-231808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231808\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
