Exchange rates bring a boost to tourism

Confidence in the tourism sector has reached its highest level since the economic downturn, with most service providers stating 2015 is likely to be their best year for business in the past decade.

A majority of operators also remain confident that business will improve further next year.

The latest tourism barometer published by Fáilte Ireland shows 70% of those working in the tourism industry reported an increase in trade so far this year.
