Everything You Need to Know about Killarney [Infographic] Tourism is one of the most lucrative industries in Ireland and, within the country, the south-western town of Killarney is one of the main hubs of the Irish tourism industry. In Ireland, only the capital city of Dublin has more hotel beds than Killarney, even though the County Kerry town is dwarfed in population terms by several other Irish municipalities. The numbers alone testify to Killarney’s reputation as a tourist hotspot. The industry pulls €410 million a year into the region and employs 3,100 people, while the town welcomes more than one million visitors every year. A survey by Trivago cited Killarney as the eighth most popular tourist destination on the planet, a remarkable achievement for a town with just 14,500 inhabitants. This reputation is richly deserved, though. While it was good fortune that the town is situated near some of the most captivating natural scenery not just in Ireland, but all of Europe, the people of Killarney seized upon that to further engage tourists with a vast selection of hotels and activities. Also, the town’s fascinating cultural heritage makes it a must-see for visitors with an interest in Irish history.
