Ireland Annual Hotel Industry Survey 2024
Crowe Ireland is delighted to publish the 28th edition of the Ireland Annual Hotel Industry Survey. This year’s survey captures a full year trading for hotels unlike any of the three prior years which were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The results continue to illustrate the remarkable recovery in the marketplace post-pandemic and while the impact of high cost inflation and the war in Ukraine have moderated, these are more than made up for by increased costs of doing business, especially payroll. The survey also collates hotelier sentiment on key matters which impacted their businesses during the year and their outlook on the strength of the recovery on revenues, costs and profit levels.
