There's increased investment from the state and from the private sector in accommodation along the trail.
We have the pods in Lismore, a state-funded project, glamping pods that have opened recently.
Welch's Hotel in Cap-O-Quin will be renovated and that will be online by the middle of July of this year.
So we do have investment coming through in accommodation, but it is the wraparound services project
It's the wraparound services which aren't as strong.
And that's the point where I find that we lean in on individuals in the community or we lean in on accommodation providers to try to bridge some of that gap.
And really what needs to happen is that there is an organised systemic approach to this to improve the services along a specific area.
So from Cashel to Ardmore, as an example,
and to make it as easy as possible for people to make the decision to come and to leave the cars at home.
So that may be either flying into this country to walk or it may be being, you know, as an Irish person deciding to come and start in Cashland Walk for five days to get to Ardmore with no car.
That's what we really want to see.
Yes, it's the Celtic Camino concept, which is being driven by the Spanish authorities.
It's the concept of walking 25 kilometres in Ireland or in Britain on established walking trails, specific trails, getting a pilgrim passport stamped from those trails and then walking 75k in Spain to get the Compostela, the famous certificate in Santiago.
And that's with the Celtic Camino.
the Celtic Camino concept, and it's with the Camino Ingles.
And the Camino Ingles is 75k from A Coruña, that's port in northern Galicia, to Santiago.
And that then is, that's an example of the Spanish authorities reaching out across Europe with their, the strength of their product.
where they're encouraging Spaniards to go and walk in Ireland and in Britain.
And so also encouraging the Irish to walk on a different Camino.
So not only the Camino Frances, which we know is the most heavily walked of all of them in Spain, they're trying to encourage more footfall on other Camino trails.
