Tourism numbers for 2023 predicted to be lowest since 2019

The number of people planning on visiting Ireland next year is predicted to be the lowest since 2019.

That’s according to the Irish Hotels Federation, which is very concerned with bookings for 2023.

60 per cent of hoteliers have reported reduced bookings from the UK, while 47 per cent said they had less bookings from Northern Ireland.

Denyse Campbell, the president of the federation, says energy costs are a key factor in the decline..
