Shits expensive
Rip people off they’ll go elsewhere. Need another big movie to be made here to get the yanks back!
We’re starting to see the consequences of having the prices of a top world city and the amenities of a small city, if even that.
Even Irish people can’t afford to spend money on hotels etc in Ireland.
Nobody wants to pay Monaco prices for shit weather and bog standard accommodation.
Got tickets for the college football in the autumn on early release. Went to look at hotels and everything was €400. Absolute gougers
Can’t blame them.
Booked a 5 star hotel in a big city in Spain for 50 euro cheaper than the Strand Hotel in Limerick, Spain hotel has breakfast included, Strand hotel wanted 230 for the night, 20 quid for breakfast (per person) and charged us 10 euro for parking. 175 for a night in a 5 star in Spain with breakfast included
I dont blame people for not coming here everytnig is a total rip off.
I work in hospitality (in Dublin) and in the last year or so I’ve heard more and more guests saying that it’s just not worth what they are paying.
Hotels all around the country are being rented by the government (tax payers) to put up immigrants.
it’s the volume of tourist accommodation currently taken up by emergency accommodation. It’s coming to bite us.
For instance, local hotel has stopped weddings, it’s constantly got half-occupancy so the cost of a regular room is expensive year round.
No ill will against the poor people housed there, this ain’t their fault. It’s government mismanagement and failure to prioritise our tourism industry.
Tourists don’t guarantee income like DP Applicants do, so our tourism industry has pivoted to service an NGO/Government Quango.
Time to face facts: we don’t do or want tourism anymore at a macro level in society. It’s simply not profitable enough during a housing crisis.
Awful public transport
Was talking to an American contractor at work, he said Dublin/Ireland gone far too dear wouldn’t bring his wife and family back over to visit
I can’t even get friends and family to visit me anymore, the price of hotels especially has made people decide to just book an all inclusive somewhere else instead for cheaper.
It’s just too expensive, and the European big tourist markets (UK, Germany, etc.) aren’t in big-spender mode right now. Between the Ukraine war, inflation, and a general economic slump, disposable income has taken a hit—the demographics that usually visit Ireland aren’t immune from that.
The US tourism market probably was ticking away — the dollar was very strong but there’s going to be continued chaos now so you can expect a lot of Americans to go into saving rather than spending mode.
In general we’re facing into global financial chaos now. So sectors like tourism are discretionary spending and will suffer badly.
Also, I don’t think the government has been paying enough attention to tourism in recent years. It’s feels like it’s not exactly been a priority, and you can see it in the lack of real strategy.
Well, we’re paying board for economic migrants in many hotels. How is this now news?
Things like public transport and restaurant costs are issued for tourists once they arrive in Ireland (or the few diligent enough to research beforehand)
But every tourist is faced with accommodation costs before they even arrive in the country.
Why do you expect when the price of everything is mental!! It’s own people can’t even afford to live why would tourists come to a country that costs them a fortune to visit????
Price is a factor for sure but we also need to acknowledge that much of the “product” offered up is mediocre and tired.
We’ve no hotels. They’re all “in use”.
This is just great – because who really needs strong indigenous businesses, am I right?
Hold on there….are you trying to tell me tourists don’t want to pay 10 eur pints to drench their thirst after running away from friendly local junkies and piss stain brigade feral teens?
The nerve…
Well yeah, we are replacing our tourist industry with the IPAS industry. Nobody can object because racism.

American here. Travelled to Letterkenny and bought a loaf of bread at a bakery. The cashier asked, “You want your change?” Shit, I wanted a break from the U.S. tip culture.
A lot of comments on the prices when the reality is we just have way fewer hotel rooms because they are being taken for other uses..
A convergence of issues here. Very bad Governance. Department of Tourism asleep at the wheel. I don’t think they have been doing enough to lobby for the industry.
There are many many livlihoods dependent on it. Micheal Martin should have mentioned this the other day in Washington.
Yes it‘s expansive to to Travel to Ireland. For 10 days we will pay more than 4000.-€ (flights/rentalcar/House). I guess in Ireland we will spent another 1500.-€ for food and trips. But it’s worth to be honest
Now let’s see how much hotels profits have increased
The country has not much to offer, living here since 2008, hotels are insanely expensive, so is food and general daily life, and the only airport with decent destinations is Dublin, keeping Cork artificially small and expensive. No wonder tourism is going down.
I’d love to do more staycations in Ireland. But I could get a week in a decent hotel in Italy for cheaper than a weekend in a dive here.
When I’m abroad talking to fellow tourists, and say where I’m from, those who have visited usually say it’s a lovely place, but why is it so damn expensive. Instead of defending our fair isle, my response is along the lines of _I know, we all know, I’m sorry, here I’ll buy you a sangria._”
Honestly I am not surprised, Ireland became very expensive and Dublin our main city has become more bland and even a bit soulless. We have areas of stunning natural beauty, great historic locations and great people but after that I can’t think a reason to visit Ireland.
There are large areas of the country that depend on the tourism economy.
You’d want to be fucking mad to come here on holidays
As a tourist from the North having just spent a week in Sligo, I didn’t think the prices were too bad for most things when compared to the north. What I did find strange and off putting was the sheer amount of abandoned and derelict buildings everywhere I went.
