THE NUMBER of overseas holidaymakers visiting #Ireland rose by 28% in the first quarter of 2016 to 691,000.
Figures from Ireland’s Central Statistics Office also show that revenue from overseas visitors grew by 18% in Q1 – an additional €102 million (£78.1 million) for the country’s economy compared with Q1 in 2015.
Niall Gibbons, chief executive of #Tourism Ireland, said: ‘This was an excellent performance and reflects the sentiment we’ve been hearing from our tourism partners overseas and here at home. As we head into the high season, we are determined to ensure that tourism growth continues.
‘We have an extensive programme of promotions under way around the world, reminding prospective visitors everywhere that there has never been a better time to discover the island of Ireland.”
The latest SOAR (Situation & Outlook Analysis Report) from Tourism Ireland said: ‘Industry sentiment on the island of Ireland remains positive, with enquiries and bookings generally reported to be ahead of, or on par with, 2015 levels. The outlook from overseas trade partners is also positive.’
