Certificate in Irish Home Hospitality
Course Objectives
The rural tourism industry is based on the provision of bed and breakfast facilities in many Irish homes throughout rural Ireland. The bed and breakfast facility is supplemented by many rural activities which combine to provide a package which is very much part of the overall tourism industry. There is a need to provide tourism providers with the skills to help them run an efficient business. These skills include being able to make the tourists aware of local history, providing facilities and food that are up to a high standard and running the business efficiently.
