Project Examples - Destination Management & Tourism

The Brinore Tramroad, a Heritage Lottery and multi-partner funded project was managed by Claire on behalf of the Brinore Tramroad Conservation Forum.

She arranged for sections of the tramroad to be restored as well as the associated structures such as the lime kilns, way-marking posts and the commissioning of a replica tram to accompany the interpretation panels.  Claire commissioned the writing of a book giving the history of the tramroad and walks that can be taken from it.  Then there were groups of volunteers to organise for archaeological digs and restoration works, meetings to prepare and minute - and as with any funding project, the finances to manage.  The sales from the booklet continue to keep the tramroad as an important local feature and visitor attraction.

COLLABOR8 - an Interreg IVB project that encourages businesses in the tourism-related sectors to work collaboratively to deliver quality, sustainable tourism products and services that reflect a sense of place.
