These increases result in part from the timing of Easter, which fell in 1Q2016 but in 2Q2017.
Holidays comprised 53% of domestic trips with spend of 263M euro, and 63% of outbound, with 1B euro spend.
Southern and eastern regions of Ireland were most popular for domestic trips, Great Britain (England -Scotland-Wales) and Spain for outbound.
Getting the Irish to holiday at home vice in NI or elsewhere in the UK - which is has been on sale for the eurozone Irish since the 2016 UK Brexit referendum vote - is a challenge for Tourism Ireland.
