Sector seeks urgent meeting with Catherine Martin to discuss ‘poor’ treatment in recent budget

The budget showed that tourism was not a priority for Government, industry chiefs have said in a hard-hitting letter to Minister for Tourism Catherine Martin.

“Put simply, Ireland’s tourism industry this year will have seen a tax hike and next year will see a spending cut,” they say. “That presents enormous difficulties to an industry still only on the recovery path and facing significant business challenges.” “The majority of the 40,600 businesses within tourism and hospitality are still reeling from Government’s decision to hike the VAT rate last month, a measure which is expected to add 4.1 per cent to food and accommodation inflation,” their letter states.

The number of Irish people flying abroad is inflating airport figures while Government humanitarian contracts are doing the same for hotel occupancy, say Ms Fitzgerald Kane and Mr O’Mara Walsh.
