Travel Agencies and Tour Operators in Ireland
Revenue is forecast to contract at a compound annual rate of 1.7% over the five years through 2023 to €1.7 billion. Before the pandemic, revenue trended upwards in line with rising disposable incomes and high levels of consumer sentiment. High sentiment levels made consumers more likely to spend on holidays, typified by rising personal consumption expenditure, which aided demand for travel and tour packages. However, in 2020, revenue plummeted by 60.6% due to lockdown and travel restrictions imposed to combat COVID-19.
