Our Values - The Tourism Space™

The Tourism Space embodies a spirit of tourism that seeks to nurture life in host destinations, fostering the well-being of all residents (human and non-human), and recognising the interconnectedness of all stakeholders. Our work is underpinned by five core values, rooted in the indigenous wisdom of our region, stated through the native Irish language of our community.

Meitheal

Facilitate collective effort for greater good

Meitheal: a party of people working collectively for the greater good of all

Collaborate and thrive together. Create spaces where people feel a sense of belonging, where they can easily connect and be propelled by the wisdom and energy of the group. Consciously create those spaces and collaborations for ourselves.

Machnamh

Take time to reflect, consolidate and share

Machnamh: contemplation, reflection, wonder

Listen to our head, which is where we will find learning, awareness and clarity. Consolidate our learning and share it widely. Ask questions and take the time to answer them. Ask better questions so that we get better answers.

Misneach

Be brave, spirited and ambitious for ‘better’

Misneach: courage, fortitude, heart

Listen to our heart, which is where we will find our authenticity, imagination and deepest courage. Be brave and spirited in expressing our ideas in the world. Be unapologetically ambitious for change that can bring about a better world.

Muinín

Believe deeply in ourselves and in others

Muinín: belief, trust, confidence

Listen to our gut, which is where we will find our confidence, resolve and commitment to purpose. Believe in ourselves. Seek support to face our fears and move past them. Believe in others. Hold spaces where they can face their fears and move past them.

Maitheas

Be better and do better

Maitheas: goodness, improvement, betterment

Strive for better. Believe in every person’s ability to contribute the next best step to lasting success. Imagine a better future so we can create a better future. Seek positive legacy and meaningful contribution through our work and the work we support others in doing.
