The Irish hotel sector ended last year on a cautiously optimistic note after national average room occupancy rose slightly to 76pc.
The Irish Hotels Federation reports steady performance across the country with the return of the ninepc value added tax rate on hospitality food services from July providing welcome relief. Industry leaders anticipate further stability in two thousand and twenty six as international visitor numbers show signs of recovery particularly from key markets such as the United States.
Challenges around staffing and costs remain but the sector views the current trajectory as positive for sustained growth.
