The Bank’s card spending data for May shows that spending on air travel declined by 6.4% year‑on‑year, despite air seat capacity into Ireland being projected to increase by 3% this summer compared with the same period last year. Irish hotels are expecting strong demand from the domestic market this summer as higher long-haul travel costs, security risks and ongoing geopolitical issues may tip the scales in favour of an Irish break.
