Ireland must ‘diversify' its tourism market to counter drop in visitor numbers, says tourism chief

Tourism is Ireland's biggest indigenous industry and largest regional employer with 257,900 people working in tourism and hospitality businesses nationwide. Figures released by Fáilte Ireland show an 18pc decline in tourists from all major overseas markets between January and April of this year versus the same period in 2024. Tourism operators have also reported that revenue generated by visitors from Great Britain had dropped 52pc compared to last year, while revenues for French holidaymakers dipped by 55pc and Germany by 53pc. Commenting on the figures, chief executive of the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation (ITIC), Eoghan O'Mara Walsh, said that Ireland must lessen its reliance on the North American tourists due to a series of complex economic factors contributing to their decline. 'The dollar is weakened - I think it's about 15pc in the last three or four months,' he told RTÉ Radio 1. "Obviously all the tariffs, we fear, are going to impact on the US economy and there's kind of lots of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty out there, which doesn't suit tourism.' However, Mr Walsh says a proactive approach must be taken to stem the dwindling numbers of US tourists to Ireland. "I think we need to defend and deepen the US market because we can't just turn our back on our most valuable market. "But we do need to be more active and penetrate other markets.' Another challenge facing the tourism sector is Ireland's status as the second-most expensive holiday destination in Europe, according to Eurostat. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more "If you think on holiday destinations, we look at what's in our bank account, what's in our wallet. "Unfortunately the German economy, the French economy, the British economy are all struggling. Therefore, discretionary income is tighter, and therefore the second and third holidays are often sacrificed, and Ireland kind of falls into that category.' Key to fulfilling this objective, Mr Walsh says, is raising the current passenger cap at Dublin Airport to above 32 million in order to secure the arrival of more overseas visitors. 'We are an island nation. There's no roads and no bridges, no tunnels off the island. If we want to activate and we want to secure access to our key source markets, we need headroom at Dublin Airport,' he said. "Government have had an awful lot of time to debate it and tease it out and we're still at the same stage as we have been for a long time.' However, he believes more could be done to incorporate regional airports into the pledge to increase the number of inbound flights. "I think Government could be doing more in terms of supporting some of the spend at those airports, allowing those airports to incentivise airlines into those regional parts of the country.'

Tourism industry seeing 'soft' European and domestic markets

Tourism operators across the country are reporting a decline in revenue in every major overseas market this year. The CEO of the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation, Eoghan O'Mara Walsh, said the North American market is doing well, however, "other markets are soft" like Britain, France and Germany as well as the domestic market. "A lot of Irish people are holidaying abroad rather than holidaying at home. Overall, it is a pretty challenging year for the Irish tourism sector," Mr O'Mara Walsh said. Speaking on RTÉ's Today with Philip Boucher Hayes, he said there is a need for the Irish market to diversify as there is an over-dependence on the North American market. He said there were strong growth prospects in continental Europe, but added that there is a lot of French and German business not being picked up at the moment. He explained that matters like the weakening of the dollar and tariff fears do not suit tourism. "Tourism is uniquely exposed to external events, so the US market could be softer next year," he said. However, he said air access is strong, particularly with Aer Lingus, and there is a lot of new transatlantic air access. Dublin is used as a hub airport between the North American bloc and the European continent, which should be good for Irish tourism. "But undoubtedly, we can't depend on a strong US market in 2026. It is pretty good in 2025, but 2026 could be more challenging. Therefore, we do need to fish from other markets," he stated. Eurostat figures from last month put us as the second most expensive country in the EU. The tourism boss said that Fáilte Ireland surveys visitors as they leave Ireland, and thankfully, the majority of people still find the country value for money. "Unfortunately, the German economy, the French economy, the British economy are all struggling and therefore discretionary income is tighter, and therefore the second and third holidays is often sacrificed, and Ireland falls into that category," he said. Mr O'Mara Walsh suggested that Ireland defend and deepen its connection to the US market, but added it had to penetrate other markets. He suggested a "step change in tourism budgets" to allow us to diversify the market and "de-risk". He added that there were costs of business and competitiveness pressures on tourism businesses, and the Government could take measures to allow Irish tourism and hospitality businesses to be more competitive. Mr O'Mara Walsh said there is a lot of capacity constraints on the tourism economy at the moment. "We know there is a Dublin airport passenger cap which needs to be relieved. We know that there is proposed legislation from Government which risks denuding coastal and rural Ireland of holiday homes and self-catering properties throughout the country, a staple of the Irish tourism product," he said. "Aside from investment in what is Ireland's largest indigenous industry and biggest regional employer, there is stuff on connectivity and competitiveness that Government should do to support the sector," he added.
