In the late 1950s Westport and District Tourism Development Company was established to promote tourism in the area and one of the first events they organised was an international sea angling festival on Clew Bay to encourage overseas anglers to Westport. In the 1980’s Westport Tourism Organisation, a voluntary organisation succeeded the Tourism Development Company and to this day strives for the development of new services and activities for the visitor as well as undertaking various competitions, research and marketing projects.
