Under the Tourist Traffic Acts 1939-2016 Fáilte Ireland has specific power and functions in relation to the mandatory registration and grading of certain types of tourist accommodation, including caravan and camping parks. However, these regulations mainly relate to the quality of the product and the level of service. Neither this Department nor the tourism agencies have any responsibility for the development of areas dedicated to motorhomes and campervans.
