Tourists find value for money in Ireland

Tourists increasingly see Ireland as being good value for money — with the “rip-off Republic” reputation continuing to fade.

According to the latest Fáilte Ireland Ireland Visitor Attitudes Survey, Ireland’s satisfaction levels among visitors continues to improve with 54% of tourists saying they found good or very good value for money here — up from 51% in 2014.

This is a huge improvement on the Celtic Tiger years. For example, while last year only 6% of visitors found value for money to be poor or very poor, in 2007 this figure was 41%.
