Fáilte Ireland CEO Paul Kelly said while there were strong signs of recovery in this year's summer season, they are concerned about the future for the sector.
Mr Kelly said the sector benefitted from a"pent up demand" this summer,"there were a lot of people, particularly overseas visitors, who were carrying forward credits or vouchers for holidays this year, that all washes out of the system now"."We've seen a very good recovery in overseas visitors coming back to Ireland."This overall assessment is experienced on the ground by businesses who rely on the tourist trade.
"We're lucky to have a few good camping sites where people can pull in or people own mobile homes down there, so the majority of my business is those people. The locals are good too but when the tourists head away it's very quiet around here." Garvan Cummins, otherwise known as The Greenway Man, runs a bike hire and cycle tours service on the Waterford Greenway.
After fffgg are gone
How do you distinguish a tourist from a refugee as they both stay in hotels and are the recipients of Irish hospitality Tourists pay for everything and when their holiday is over they go home.The others stay and the longer they stay the more their sense of entitlement increases.
Problem. Reaction. Solution. You will own nothing and you WILL be happy. BTW, Hunger Games is a documentary 😉
