      Place is a rip off for residents, can only imagine how much we fleece tourists.

      I remember a post a while ago with people saying how they took trips to Europe for the same price as a hotel at home

      When are they going to wake up and realise theyve gouged people out of coming here

      Basically accommodation has priced itself out of the market judging by this.

      Almost half coming are doing so because they have their own accommodation visiting family.

      Terrible value in this country, better off going abroad.

      Some hotels have allocated half of their rooms for ‘other guests’ that might put the regular paying folks off somewhat.

      Gougery and not enough supply of new hotel rooms on the market. We’ve shot ourselves in the foot. Government needs to get the finger out and build more hotels

      Ironically this has been overseen by Fine Gael, the party of ‘big business’ that purports to be sensible with money and supporting business in Ireland.

      We are paying hotels to house people. Thus reducing the supply of hotel rooms to tourists and causing and encouraging price gouging, making visiting Ireland prohibitive in cost and directly impacting businesses struggling to survive in the retail sector.

      You couldn’t write it.

      If we get another -30% dip next year on this year’s numbers we will be running -51% vs 2024 with our tourist sector having shrunk by just over half in 2yrs.

      This IPA nonsense is the biggest scam ever hoisted on the country.

      It’s **obviously unrelated** to hoteliers ditching tourism for the far more profitable, tax payer funded, slumlord racket.

      Which both lowers room availability to tourists and leads to price gouging for what rooms do remain. Not to mention quaint Irish villages becoming … much less quaint, much less Irish, much less what tourists travel to Ireland to see and enjoy.

      Many Yanks will be holding their cash for awhile. Everyone in Europe knows this island has no value for what you pay. So what’s the prospective market? Asia? Africa? Middle East?

      Everyone taking the opportunity to make stuff up. 

      (1) there was a massive storm in the month that disrupted traffic in the month 
      (2) capacity in Dublin Airport is way down and airlines are keeping capacity for summer
      (3) Feb just simply isn’t a big month for travel so any shocks are enough to move things either way

      It’s not about hotels

      If only this would push them into doing something about the cost of everything… otherwise zero sympathy. Govt have made an absolute bollx of the place
