It may be beneficial to capitalise on Elphin’s proximity to neighbouring <strong>area</strong>s such as Strokestown<br />
Park House, King House in Boyle and Tulsk, in order to develop sightseeing tours.<br />
An integrated marketing campaign to promote tourism should be promoted. This would involve a<br />
comprehensive approach with the various agencies involved in the sector including a <strong>County</strong><br />
Tourism Committee, Ireland West Tourism, Failte Ireland, Coillte and North West Tourism.<br />
The following are some of the places of interest/visitor attractions within and in close proximity to Elphin.<br />
