Cost of living crisis pushing more holidaymakers to vacation abroad 

More than six in ten respondents had decided to travel outside of Ireland, saying that it represented better value than staying within the country

"It is clear that many people feel priced out of the Irish holiday market this year, and many of them have had to adapt and be flexible in order to get a much-needed break.”

Vacation plans this year are expected to be significantly impacted by the ongoing cost of living crisis, with nearly half of prospective homebuyers planning on holidaying differently this summer.

Surveying more than 2,000 people, a report by MyHome.ie found that of those planning on one main holiday this year, only a third plan on taking it in Ireland, with rising hotel prices and the cost of living pushing more holidaymakers to cheaper alternatives abroad.
