Longford Tourism Committee is the representative body of all tourism interests within County Longford. The current strategy, 2023 – 2027, sets out the overall vision for tourism in County Longford and the aim is to grow a thriving tourism sector in a coordinated and cohesive manner.

The committee recognises the contributory role County Longford has to play in facilitating and supporting planned regional and national tourism development and the value of being part of a collective branding such as Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands.

County Longford Tourism Committee has refocused attention and energy on the potential for the tourism sector to be the key economic driver for County Longford. It has been the catalyst for the development of a number of key tourism infrastructure projects such as the Royal Canal Greenway and complimentary waking and cycling trails.
