Noel Keane. Proprietor. Croí Restaurant, Tralee First opening their doors in May 2017, the plan was simple; to make people feel like they are at home. Producing amazing local food, supplying good wine and beer, while providing excellent service, we hear from their Head Chef and Proprietor Noel Keane. ‘I think if you're from Kerry, it’s in you and always will be, it's a wonderful place to grow up with wonderful people and no matter where you go, you'll always say - I'm from Kerry. Kerry has a huge influence in how I cook my food because I spent a lot of time working abroad and then when I came back the quality of the produce here in Kerry is simply a world beater. It's phenomenal. Our beef, lamb, vegetables and of course we have the coast which is literally a stone's throw from us here. It's all small guys doing something that they love very much whether it's rearing cattle or fishing or growing something, it's the freshness of that produce, I mean literally when the vegetables come in, you can see the morning dew on them, they're picked and they're brought here within hours and they are on the plate that evening.’ Visit our websitebit.ly/DiscoverKerryNow and go #ExploreTheKingdom and #DiscoverYou #explorethekingdom #humansofhospitality #ourstories #mykerry #Tralee #restaurant #wildatlanticway #supportlocal #foodiestories #localproduce #wineanddine #SafeDestination

Each and every one of us, we are sure, can picture what it is to have a local pub. A place where we go to connect, to unwind, to maintain our link with our community . Next week, our local pubs start to re-open safely. It’s a day that we are very happy to see, both for our communities and our publicans. . Our next Humans of Hospitality feature sees Kathy Fitzgerald of Tig a Cúinne, share her love for her home, her pub and her community of Brandon, West Kerry . 'Tig A Cúinne' has been in her family since the late 1700's. Only serving drinks, Tig A Cúinne is in essence what a rural pub here in Kerry is .

‘Kerry to me has everything’ The initial idea for Emerald Outdoors, located in Kenmare was born during a chat by founders Colin and Jamie. While on the banks of the Nile river in Uganda, where they were working as white-water kayak guides. The pair have worked as senior kayak guides across 5 continents, accumulating 20+ years of professional kayak guiding between them, around the world. In November 2016, Colin phoned Jamie to come home from Africa and explore Kenmare, a mountain-ringed town by the sea in Kerry. On discovering Kenmare Bay, they both felt that the opportunities and benefits offered by a kayak tour in Kenmare Bay would rank amongst the most spectacular experiences that they have encountered, anywhere in the world. In setting up Emerald Outdoors, awarded Kerry's Travel & Hospitality Awards Tour Company of the Year 2020, the plan was to cherry pick the best practices that they had encountered in the tourism industry around the world and combine this with their passion for kayaking, offering mystical paddling tours to suit all ages. Hear in their own words what Kerry means to them… ​ Visit bit.ly/DiscoverKerryNow Where Your Adventure Awaits #humansofhospitality #ourstories #explorethekingdom #kenmare #kerry #wildatlanticway #Ireland #discoverkerry #discoverireland #adventure #kayak #thegreatourdoors

The Kerry seaside village of Waterville was a place dearly loved by film legend Charlie Chaplin and many locals remember him strolling along the seafront promenade with his wife and children, his privacy always respected. 🎞️ In 2011, the village held its inaugural Charlie Chaplin Comedy Film Festival – now an annual event, the festival is a celebration of Comedy, Film and Music, set against the spectacular backdrop of beautiful South Kerry and is one of a kind. Its aim is to simply bring a smile to Kerry, Ireland and the world. Ann Condon, one of the hardworking volunteers attributes the ‘fantastic community who all work together’ as the reason behind the festival’s ongoing success. It also retains strong links to the Chaplin family. Listen to Ann’s story in the latest video from our #HumansOfHospitality series to find out who she is talking about when she says ‘He nearly has a Kerry accent now from coming here.’ 🎞️ Visit https://bit.ly/DiscoverKerryNow Where Adventure Awaits #humansofhospitality #ourstories #explorethekingdom #discoveryou #waterville #kerry #charliechaplin #festival #wildatlanticway #ireland #discoverkerry #discoverireland
