‹ Order of Business Growth in overseas tourism
Summary
Senator Brennan welcomes a 14% rise in overseas visitors and credits the hotel industry’s improved value offering ahead of the Gathering.
I welcome the finding in Fáilte Ireland's survey for the period January to July that there was a 14% increase in the number of overseas visitors to this country. The hard work being done by the hotel industry is clearly paying off. Ireland now offers an improved experience for visitors in terms of value for money, which augurs well for the success of the Gathering next year.
