The chief executive of Fáilte Ireland has admitted that domestic tourism is at a low ebb due to the Covid-19 pandemic but stressed the need for the sector to spearhead a recovery once the crisis has passed.
Writing in the 2019 Fáilte Ireland annual report, Paul Kelly said it is not just a review of last year, it looks back on what seems now like another era . This report is written at a low ebb, after a high point, he said.
