The tourism in the Community Toolkit, a useful resource created to support community tourist groups, was published in 2022 by Fáilte Ireland. In the context of post-COVID community revitalisation, in particular, it assists them in launching new programmes or improving current ones. This toolkit enables communities to promote sustainable tourism, involve local stakeholders, and generate positive social and economic effects by offering helpful advice.
