Inbound Tourism provides monthly and annual estimates of the travel activity of overseas visitors to Ireland that stay for at least one night.

The estimates are based on the CSO Passenger Survey, in which CSO staff interview more than 13,000 departing passengers each month about their trip at the country’s main airports and seaports.

It provides insights on travel patterns and data on:

  • overseas visitor numbers to Ireland
  • total nights spent in Ireland 
  • average length of stay and accommodation used
  • Visitor expenditure
  • main country of origin (e.g., Great Britain, Continental Europe, North America)
  • main reasons for travel.
