 Covering
the counties of Fermanagh, Londonderry/Derry, Tyrone
and the geographical area of the Sperrin Mountains
the Western Regional Tourism Partnership (WRTP) seeks
to promote the West of Northern Ireland to visitors
from both home and abroad.
It also works to develop a unified tourism strategy
for the region, whilst also taking into account the
needs of its constituent bodies.
Alongside this the WRTP acts to gather information
on tourism in the region and to act as a draw for
funding from bodies such as the Northern
Ireland Tourist Board and on a cross-border basis.
WRTP Background
NITB's 'Strategic Framework for Action' and subsequent
consultancies recommended that tourism bodies in Northern
Ireland became more regionalised, as a result of this
the WRTP was formed to meet this strategy in the West
of Northern Ireland.
The organisation was formed in 2006 and consists
of representatives from the 7 Councils in the West
of Northern Ireland, Cookstown,
Derry,
Dungannon,
Fermanagh,
Magherafelt,
Omagh
and Strabane
and from the constituent tourism bodies for the region,
Derry
City Visitor and Convention Bureau, Fermanagh
Lakelands Tourism, Sperrins
Tourism and Flavour
of Tyrone.
