Is Ireland’s Staycation Boom Fading Away?

Is Ireland’s staycation boom coming to an end? Hoteliers report a significant decline in domestic summer bookings, with numbers dropping by up to 50% since the peak of the pandemic. On the other hand, bookings made by American and UK citizens for Ireland have seen a 27% increase for this summer compared to last year. The shift in booking patterns signals a potential shift in the travel landscape, with a resurgence in interest from American and British visitors.
