DONEGAL and visitors to the county can look forward to temperatures soaring to 24C this weekend, as more and more foreign tourists flood into the county.
Bus loads of tourists from across Europe and America are in Donegal this weekend.
Four coaches with French tourists arrived in the county yesterday, many of them spending a sunshine-filled day at Glenveagh National Park.
The new trend in tourists from mainland Europe and America coming to Donegal is thanks to a huge marketing push by Failte Ireland.
The French tourists are here as part of a ‘Two Irelands’ tour – taking in the north of the country.
Coach loads of tourists from Germany, Italy and the USA arrive in Letterkenny today and are booked into the Mount Errigal Hotel in the town.
Their presence is adding to the increase in summer visitors from the North and Britain.
“It’s a fantastic boost for Donegal,” said Carolynne Harrison from the Mount Errigal.
“We are definitely seeing an increase in the number of different nationalities now coming regularly to Donegal.
“We’re packed out this weekend with visitors from Italy, Germany and America all staying here.”
