IHF welcomes tourism reports

The Irish Hotels Federation (IHF) has welcomed the PwC report on the Regional Tourism Authorities (RTA's) and the subsequent Travers Report in relation to Dublin tourism.

Federation President Richard Bourke said the evolution of the international tourism market means the marketing needs of Irish tourism are constantly changing, and as such a reinvigorated regional tourism marketing structure is to be welcomed.

He said: "Regional marketing efforts are extremely important to the development of regional tourism, now more than ever before, in a climate where visitor numbers to our regions are in decline."
