The article discusses the need for the Irish government to reconsider tourism strategies by focusing on making Dublin more affordable for visitors, particularly regarding accommodation costs. Currently, spending upwards of €500 for a night deters many tourists. The author humorously touches on a cultural moment witnessed in a local pub, juxtaposing it with a critique of government initiatives, such as proposed security measures that seem to have stalled. Ultimately, the article highlights an opportunity for the government to enhance tourist experiences while also increasing economic gains.
If the Government wants to make more money out of visitors to the capital, why not make it possible for them to spend a night there for less than €500?
Last Wednesday afternoon, music lilted through the open doors of a Dublin pub, lulling delighted tourists, who clapped along enthusiastically to a version of the well-known Scottish come-all-ye.
