Don’t fleece tourists, industry warned

Hotel owners, publicans and restaurant owners in Dublin, and other key destinations, have been warned not to fleece foreign visitors if Ireland’s tourism industry is to keep growing.

The comments from Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland, comes in the wake of the Brexit vote, which poses a great risk to the tourism industry.

He said that all retailers must remain competitive if Ireland was to continue to attract a high number of tourists, and that the country must retain its good-value image.
