There is still tremendous value to be had out there.
>Sydney Frankel, from the suburbs of New York City, is in Dublin for a friend’s wedding. “I wouldn’t say Dublin is expensive,” she said, “but I wouldn’t say it’s super cheap either”.
>She said she paid a “higher than normal” price for her flight here of “around $800 or $900”. High flight prices were also mentioned by other US tourists, who maintained that while visiting the country isn’t a financial burden, getting here is.
I’ve recently been looking into a trip home, roundtrip flights from Newark are incredibly low at the moment for next several months. Dates depending, it’s sub $400. Sydney here must have booked last minute. I’ve never spent $800-$900 on flights in the last several years.
I barley see any young people in groups of yanks in Ireland.
Incomes in the US are just on a different level to Europe. Of course, you have to live in the US and best of luck if you fall on hard times there. But generally their economic prosperity for people who are doing well, and the size of the population of people who are doing well, explains why coming to Ireland and dropping the kind of money they do is entirely possible.
The problem is we have relied on American tourists for too much and too long we should have branched out flights to other countries a decade ago we only have America Canada Morocco and more recently Mexico as countries Aerlingus flys too while Eygpt Qatar the UAE and China are flown by the national airlines and yet we have about less than half of what Germany France Spain England and Italy in terms of other destinations spread across South America Africa and Asia
Cost of living in the US is crazy since COVID so no big surprise that Ireland isn’t that much of a shock. For continental Europeans though it is
How are food prices or Flight prices effected by tariffs?
Is it compulsory to blame trump/tariffs for every thing, and show horn him into every story?
This article is fucking stupid. Trumps tariffs havent taken full effect yet. It hasn’t hit Americans in the pocket.
Many of these holidays were booked months ago too, if not longer. The tourists who are coming from American come from areas with higher incomes. The Irish Times needs to go to the US and talk to tourists who couldn’t afford Ireland or think its a shithole.
Also, American tourists thinking there is value in Ireland is not the same as irish people trying to find value in Ireland.
