Over 60% Of Clare Hotel Rooms Already Contacted By Ryder Cup Services

Over 60% of Clare's hotel rooms have already been contacted to provide accommodation by the Ryder Cup's official travel services. Up to 200,000 fans are expected to descend on the MidWest for the biennial golf competition between Team Europe and the United States next September. Clare's Tourism stakeholders, meanwhile, held a major networking event at the Rine Hotel last night, which will also aim to harness the benefits of the Irish Open in Doonbeg and Walker Cup in Lahinch later this year. Clare Tourism Advisory Forum Chair and Hotel Woodstock Co-Owner Seán Lally says it's a "pinch me" moment for the county.
