Key Highlights
Real GDP is expected to grow by 0.4% in 2013 as fiscal adjustments, high unemployment and ongoing economic uncertainty weigh on domestic consumption. Exports growth will also remain poor due to low external demand. Real GDP, however, is likely to gain momentum and grow on an average by 2.3% between 2014 and 2017 aided by an expected improvement in exports coupled with a moderate recovery in private consumption from modest improvements in labor market conditions.
Ireland's economy failed to recover in 2012 recording a 5% decline in spending by domestic tourists as a result of decreased disposable incomes from the high rate of unemployment, increased charges and taxation, focusing on personal debt reduction and a poor labor market. With spending capabilities restricted, it is anticipated that Irish people will spend holidays at nearby destinations, cutting costs associated with air travel.
Failte is extensively promoting overseas to attract more tourists by organizing cultural events such as "the Gathering" and "Derry/Londonderry UK City of Culture". The Derry/Londonderry UK City of Culture provided a unique opportunity to showcase a diverse range of cultural programs and events, aiming at both cultural tourists and general visitors. The Gathering targeted the Irish diaspora in places like the UK, the US, Canada and Australia.
In July 2013, London and Dublin have planned to extend the Common Travel Area, which currently allowing unhampered travel for the citizens of both countries by creating a "mini-Schengen" area that enables tourists and business travelers from rapidly growing Asian economies, to undertake travels with the help of common visas between the two islands. The global tourism industry is expected to grow by 50% between 2013 and 2030, and half of the tourists will come from China.
In January 2013, Ryanair planned to launch operations in North Africa including Libya. These destinations would be served by 189-seat Boeing 737-800 aircraft with two new bases at Fez and Marrakech during 2013. Essaouira and Rabat were also newly announced airports that were launched at the end of March 2013. Canadian airline WestJet is expected to enter the transatlantic market with a new service to Ireland during 2014, with non-stop flights from St John's, Newfoundland, and direct services with the same aircraft from Toronto to Dublin between June and October 2014.
In February 2013, DoubleTree by Hilton opened a hotel in Dublin in partnership with Martinez Hotels & Resorts, having 138 rooms. Marriott International and Ikea have teamed to launch a chain of Europe-based economy hotels under the Moxy Hotels brand, adding 150 franchised Moxy Hotels across Europe including Ireland over the next 10 years. In May 2013, Interstate Hotels & Resorts announced seven new hotel openings across Europe, including Ireland. Choice Hotels announced five more properties in the UK and Ireland. Dublin's Gibson hotel has joined Choice's Ascend Hotel Collection, facilitating 252 rooms.
Since 2008, the highest demand for car rentals was generally between July and September in Ireland. Due to oversupply, there was a decrease of 13.87% in the fleet size in 2012. Since Ireland is a small country, car rental companies were unable to redistribute vehicles to other areas where demand was higher. During the review period, there were many efforts made by Irish car rental companies to redistribute vehicles outside Ireland by negotiating with the government, which remained ineffective until 2012. The profitability of these companies was adversely impacted due to the majority of fleets not operating during off season.
Package holidays are preferred by consumers as travel agents often cut prices by up to half. Low prices, coupled with the security and convenience of a package holiday, are drawing in customers. Previously, the increasing availability of cheap flights swamped the market and caused a drop in package holiday sales. But now, package deals have attracted many customers, and have been given priority.
