In April 1987 Skerries Tourism was inaugurated for the purpose of promoting tourism in Skerries and surrounding area.

Some of the first projects that the committee tackled was to get a Board Failte approved Information Point opened in the Community Centre and to get bed and breakfast houses in the area to join Board Failte. Next was to get colourful promotional brochures and information packs which the group had printed, all to go towards making Skerries more visitor friendly. The brochures are available at Dublin Tourist offices and various local outlets.

Skerries Tourism also succeeded in obtaining more prominent sign posting for the town. The group produced a video on Skerries, entitled "The Hidden Jewel", which was extensively promoted and distributed. Stenna Sea Link also took the video on board and this was a great boast for the town. In 1994 a 'Shop Local Campaign' was initiated by the committee and the group were also represented at the Twinning of Skerries with the Canton of Guichen.

When the Skerries Mills were opened to the public, the Tourist Office was transferred to the reception area in the Mills Complex and is still supplied with brochures and information of Skerries and surrounding area by Skerries Tourism.

Skerries Tourism would like to thank all the members for their support through the years, for without it the 10.000 full colour brochures, 15.000 'Free Tourist Guide to Skerries' and numerous other promotional campaigns would not take place as these are funded solely by membership fees.
