The Karaoke World Championships is confirmed to take place in Killarney, Co.Kerry, Ireland 8th-10th September 2011.
Heidi Moijanen, Director of Foreign Affairs,KWC Organization flew in to Kerry from Helsinki to sign the contract with Patrick O’Donoghue, Managing Director of the INEC (Ireland National Events Centre) which is the host venue.
The INEC along with Karaoke Ireland, The Kerry Convention Bureau, Failte Ireland have all supported Killarney’s bid to host the championships. Ann Marie Campell and Liz Cosgrove official Irish partners of the Karaoke World championships, choose to put Killarney forward as the host destination due to its suitability for the event, “after traveling to many Karaoke World Championships I wanted to use this opportunity to show Ireland off at its best. Killarney’s world renowned natural beauty coupled with its history of welcoming visitors for over 250 years meant that I know my many Global Karaoke friends will receive the best of Irish welcomes in Killarney” said Campbell.
“The INEC is an ideal venue for this event as its it has 485 bedrooms on site split between the Gleneagle Hotel and River Apartments, as well as the luxurious Brehon Hotel where allthe finalist and their families will be staying. The fact that so many people can stay on site, in the official event accommodation was a major factor taken into consideration when choosing the INEC venue.” said Cosgrove.
Local organisers are working with Kerry Convention Bureau and Failte Ireland on a festival programme for the event so that those who travel to the small town of Killarney, located in the south west of Ireland feels like their own little corner of Ireland, even its it’s only for 3 days!
