Hotel and business leaders in Killarney are urging the Government to invite Queen Elizabeth II to visit Ireland and Killarney next year.
2011 is the 150th anniversary of Queen Victoria's 1861 visit to the Co Kerry town, where she stayed for a number of days and toured the area.
Sean O'Driscoll, of the Kerry Branch of the Irish Hotels Federation, said it would be appropriate now for Queen Victoria's great-great granddaughter to return to the area.
Mr O'Driscoll said the visit would be a huge boost for the town, where UK visitors are drastically down on other years.
He said a €20m marketing campaign could not generate the publicity that a visit by the Queen would.
