- Irish people taking holidays in the west of Ireland have helped make it a good year for tourism in the region.
The sunny warm weather sees holidaymakers head for the west of Ireland giving a much need boost to local hoteliers and restaurateurs.
It may not be the Costa del Sol but the Costa del Connemara has rarely looked so good.
In 1980, tourism was worth around £53 million to the region. There is hope that this year’s target of between £60 and £65 million can be realised. This is down to an increase in the number of Irish people now holidaying in the west of Ireland.
Joe Lally of the Tourist Board says that 1981 will be remembered as,
The year of the Irish
He is grateful to all the Irish people who decided to holiday in the west of Ireland this year and he believes that there is now a renewed faith in tourism in the region. The success of this year is largely down to a promotion campaign carried out throughout Ireland.
More people are also opting for self-catering cottages and holiday rentals.
Chairman of the western branch of the Hotels Federation, Mr O’Riordain says that the introduction of thatched and holiday cottages, such as those at a resort in Carroroe in County Galway, have been a lifesaver for the tourism industry. Demand has been so high, that they have been fully booked right through the tourist season. As a result of this high demand, an additional ten cottages will be added next year.
While bookings have exceeded expectations and business is booming, there have however been some complaints most of which relate to the price.

When I was young I was pale and freckled with auburn hair. Growing up in the US, when I went swimming it was usually with African-American friends. Imagine my shock when visiting the beach in Ballybunion, Co. Kerry, for the first time in my life I wasn’t the palest person on the beach!
Long lost Ireland…hope and pray for a return to its ancient brehon civilization
You will be older than hills when that happens
No chance of that happening!

This reminds me of something odd: as someone from the US, I find the Irish accent much easier to understand than some regional British accents.
I know plenty of people in Ireland today who have an even stronger accent than spoken in the video
Wow...thin people not covered in tatts and only Irish on the beach.
