Hotels, B&Bs, hostels, and guesthouses all see boost in occupancy levels

A resurgence in overseas visitors, particularly from North America, spurs 2023 increase

More than two-thirds of people staying in guesthouses were overseas tourists last year.

Tourism in Ireland recorded a strong recovery last year with providers of all types of tourist accommodation reporting higher occupancy rates than in 2022, according to Fáilte Ireland.

A new report by the tourism development authority found occupancy levels were up in every sector largely due to a resurgence in overseas visitors, particularly from North America.
