🚨2024 Tourism Review & 2025 Outlook
2024 has proven a mixed year for Irish tourism & hospitality businesses with visitor spend up but bed nights down.

In our review of 2024 we estimate that 6.6 million international visitors came to Ireland this year spending €6.2 billion, an increase of 13%. The length of time visitors spent in the country was down 3% & the largest source market of business was North America.

ITIC forecasts continued revenue growth in 2025 although this is predicated on pro-tourism and pro-enterprise polices from the incoming Government.

📹#Sustainability and environmental responsibility have never been such priorities as they are now for Irish tourism.

Ireland’s only UN Sustainable Tourism Observatory hosted by @atu_ie @atusligo_ie works closely with tourism destinations along the Atlantic coast and its islands.

Our CEO @EoghanOMW recently met with Dr James Hanrahan to hear about the important work that he and his colleagues carry out. Have a listen here➡️ https://t.co/Avdf0hfhpT

Barcelona’s tourism board is replacing its 15-year-old slogan ‘Visit Barcelona’ with ‘This is Barcelona.’

“We put an end to a global call for them to visit us, and we do a step forward in highlighting us,” said the director of Turisme de Barcelona. https://t.co/Wifv49TJ0S
