Ireland hopes to welcome more British tourists as Pound strengthens

Great Britain remains the island of Ireland's largest source of holidaymakers, accounting for almost a third of tourists in 2019.

As our closest and intrinsically linked neighbour, Britain continues to be incredibly important for our economy.

The Irish hospitality industry is anticipating record visitors from England, Scotland and Wales in 2022, and the strength of the pound may be an important factor.

Overall travel stocks in Europe are expected to skyrocket in the coming weeks as the Omicron threat is downgraded while flight, hotel and self-catering bookings could reach all-time highs over the first quarter.
