Tourism Industry

One of the most important ways for a country to bring in revenue is a thriving tourism industry. Ireland is no exception to this, because of it being one of the major ways many business stay afloat with the economy today and bring in big bucks during seasonally every year. In recent years Ireland has seen a downward trend in the tourism industry mostly do to the cost of living in today's world but not too long ago, with "Irish tourism industry welcomed a record 7.8 million visitors in 2007; Numbers were boosted by visits from relatives of large migrant worker population from Eastern Europe" (finfacts.com). Though this industry is enhanced by migrants workers families, this shows clear fact that Ireland is still a growing industry for jobs and could enhance the population because of tourists who once come to visit may come to stay. This revenue from tourism though has an average of over six billion Euro a year increase every year, bringing in cash flow to the small business sectors as well as major corporations.

The capital for of tourism though is still reliant on Dublin, Ireland and northern Ireland itself. The rest of the country still remains questionable for appeal by tourists outside the country.
Ireland has evolved itself from more than just historical sights like the Blarney castle and natural wonders around the large island, but it has set its a claim for older generations and must now appeal to a age. Ireland though staggering for new ways of outside income due to economic downfalls, they still foresee a rise in visitors to the beautiful lands that drive much of the economy.
