TRALEE exiles in London have recalled their Christmas memories in Kerry’s capital in a video campaign to showcase all that the town has to offer during the Festive Season.
Recorded in London, the nostalgic videos underline the key role that Kerry Airport plays in facilitating their seamless return home to Tralee at Christmas and throughout the year.
The new President of Tralee Chamber Alliance, Nathan McDonnell, said: “Home is where the heart it is, and the past 22 months have shown us that Tralee people living abroad have developed a deeper appreciation of home. Many people were unable to travel to Tralee last Christmas and our thoughts are with those who might not get to travel home this year to enjoy the full festive experience with family and friends. These video postcards from London highlight the special place that Tralee has in the memories of so many people who no longer live in the town. We hope they get home soon to celebrate Christmas in Tralee and if not, thanks to Kerry Airport, we’re always close to them.”
The videos of Tralee people in London, along with Christmas messages from local retailers, will be featured across the Tralee Chamber Alliance’s social media platforms from 15th December until Christmas Eve.
The campaign was commissioned by Tralee Chamber Alliance and produced by former President, John Drummey.
Tralee Chamber Alliance and Kerry County Council are celebrating Christmas in full technicolour with the most colourful and decorative Christmas lights in Ireland.
Tralee is fortunate to have some of the best independent businesses in the county standing shoulder to shoulder with high street brands offering a one stop shop for everyone. There isn’t a retailer, hotelier, restaurateur, publican, or attraction provider in Tralee who won’t go the extra mile to ensure that the Christmas experience for locals and visitors is the most memorable ever.
The wonderfully decorated windows by local retailers make for a festive atmosphere like no other and there are plenty of places to grab a coffee, lunch, or dinner to make a day of it. There’s no need to worry about parking costs as parking is FREE in Council-owned car parks (max. stay periods apply) until January 2nd.
The CEO of Tralee Chamber Alliance, Colette O’Connor, said: “2021 is about reconnecting and rediscovering what Christmas at home means to us, we are inviting people from across Kerry who are both living here and abroad to contact the Chamber and tell us what makes Christmas in Tralee special to them. Email us at info@tralee.ie or tag us on social media @traleechamberalliance.”
