A new and exciting multi media video promotion initiated by Castlebar Chamber of Commerce is set to attract national and international exposure for Castlebar in the weeks and months ahead. The new DVD promotion features the theme Castlebar Everyones Invited and looks on the town as a great place to live, work and visit.

This is a vital promotional tool for the town going forward as millions of people now use multi media devices such as their phones and iPads when looking for holiday destinations and business opportunities. This is a quality production using state-of-the-art technologies and it gives a great overview of what is on offer in Castlebar from a business, tourism, cultural and social aspect, commented Castlebar Chamber President, Oliver Kelleher.

The new DVD promotion is the brainchild of Castlebar Chamber and will be used to promote and drive business and tourism to the county town under the umbrella of www.visitcastlebar.com. From inception to the delivery of the final product, the whole process took little under a month to ensure the DVD would be ready for international distribution this St Patricks Day. The interactive website highlights Castlebar as a great place to live, do business and visit.
