A recent study highlighted that while 74% of Irish people travel abroad yearly, a significant number have yet to explore their local areas. Airbnb announced a €100,000 Rural Tourism Fund to support innovative projects in rural communities. Statistics show that, despite 48% of Irish individuals desiring to experience more of their own country, only one-third engage in regular staycations. This initiative emphasizes the importance of rural tourism, with Airbnb reporting that most of the country's bookings dominate in rural regions rather than urban centers like Dublin.
"Despite almost half (48%) of people in Ireland saying they want to see more of their own country, only one in three actually take regular holidays in the form of staycations."
"Airbnb have revealed new data which shows that a quarter of the Irish population have explored Asia, but 82% have never visited Leitrim and 76% have never visited Westmeath."
