The number of trips from Ireland to Portugal in May was 69,620, up 2.5pc on May 2024 and 34pc on pre-pandemic.
After the figures from March (down 9.7pc) and April (up 8.1pc), unduly influenced by the date of Easter, more precise single digit growth rates into the Portuguese market can be observed.
England, with 286,676 visits, remains the largest inbound market in Portugal as Germany shows a slower recovery.
Portugal hosted 2,093,116 visitors in May, breaking its previous record set in May 2022. The surge in visitors was partially attributed to a significant increase in tourists from the United States.
