Ireland

Tourism is an important driver of economic activity for Ireland. As well as being the longest-standing source of service export earnings, it also directly and indirectly supports employment across the country for a range of skill levels – often in areas where the scope to develop other export-focused sectors is constrained. The tourism and hospitality industry employed approximately 185 000 people in 2012, and generated over EUR 5 billion in revenues from home and abroad – equivalent to over 3% of GDP. Tourism also shapes Ireland’s image and attractiveness as a place to live, work and invest.
