The Head of Fáilte Ireland, Paul Kelly, says their research shows Ireland is still good value for money.
"Overall what our research is saying to us is that we have moved up to be in the same pricing as Paris and London, as those tier one cities.
"But...we're still seen as a good quality destination and people won't come here if the quality doesn't match."
