Travel activity to, from and within Ireland continues to recover in 2024, although patterns within travel are shifting. The strong inflation of recent years is subsiding, meaning that growth is being driven more by volume, rather than inflation. Nevertheless, Ireland remains a relatively high-cost environment, especially as 2024 is the first full year with VAT on hospitality restored to 13.5%. This means that Ireland’s tourism providers must focus on their costs.
