📢June Tourism Dashboard - Today the Central Statistics Office Ireland published their June tourism numbers which show a 2% decline in international visitors during June with spend down 6%, although the number of nights tourists spent in the country was up 6%.

Our CEO Eoghan O'Mara Walsh said "Irish tourism and hospitality businesses continue to have a mixed season. June numbers represent the beginning of the summer period and although North American business is performing well, other markets are soft. Cost of business pressures and capacity constraints continue to hamper the industry and we hope that these are addressed on Budget Day. With unprecedented macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty now is the time to support a key home-grown indigenous industry such as tourism".

Our CEO Eoghan O'Mara Walsh said “Industry is hopeful of a busy summer season with North American prospects strong and excellent transatlantic air access. Undoubtedly though there are challenges and costs of business continue to squeeze profit margins”.
