More and more international visitors are coming to Dublin, as it’s seen as being a safer destination in comparison to other European cities.

A new survey from Fáilte Ireland also shows 81% of businesses in Dublin have seen an increase in the number of visitors they have welcomed this year.

There was also good news on the jobs front, as almost a third of businesses reported hiring more staff in comparison to the same time last year.

However, some industry leaders have warned that a shortage of hotel accommodation, as well as rising prices could have a negative impact on visitor numbers.

Concerns have also been raised about the lack of investment following Britain's decision to leave the EU. The report says “Making sure Ireland remains competitive is essential to mitigate saturation and alleviate rising prices”.
