A thousand welcomes to land of the great rip-off

CÉAD Míle Fáilte: it’s just as well the present doyens of our tourism industry had nothing to do with our infamous welcoming mantra or it would have been: “Yeah, welcome, goodbye. Whatever. Here’s the bill. Next.”

It would appear the goose that laid the golden egg is being overcharged for its feed and accommodation costs, rendering it uninterested anymore in including Ireland in its travels.

After a period of unprecedented growth, greed in the tourism sector is resulting in stagnation in the market.
