Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Rising Cost of Tourist Accommodation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Johnny Mythen: I agree with most of what Deputy Griffin has said, and there are serious issues with car hire and so forth. It was mentioned during the conversation that it is a misperception that prices are high. I do not know how that could be because speaker after speaker has dealt with this issue. In my own area, for two nights in August for one person, the price is €460 and the prices in...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Rising Cost of Tourist Accommodation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Johnny Mythen: That is ripping people off. Mr. Fenn says it is supply and demand but if that is what people are being charged to book a room, it is still overpriced. It does not make sense. Does Mr. Fenn not see that the price should be averaged out and that this is doing damage to the industry?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Rising Cost of Tourist Accommodation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Johnny Mythen: In fairness, I would say the real issue is the price. It does not make a difference whether it is the last room, the first room or otherwise. If a person books a room for up to €700, they could have gone to Spain for that.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Rising Cost of Tourist Accommodation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Johnny Mythen: I know Mr. Fenn cannot comment on individual prices and we understand that. However, the Irish Hotels Federation has to recognise the reputational damage among tourists. If someone goes on a holiday and they are asked how they got on and how things went, those people are not going to say they had a fantastic time. They are going to say “Do not go there.”

Johnny Mythen: Mr. Fenn said in his opening statement that full recovery will not be secured until 2026. What is this based on? Are there empirical figures for that? This year is obviously going to be a bumper year for the industry.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Rising Cost of Tourist Accommodation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Johnny Mythen: Mr. Fenn said in his opening statement that full recovery will not be secured until 2026. I wonder what that is based on or what empirical figures Mr. Fenn has for that. This year is definitely a bumper year.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Rising Cost of Tourist Accommodation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Johnny Mythen: The Department in its briefing note outlined some actions being taken to address staff shortages. Are low wages and long hours contributing to these staff shortages? I might take that one. Fáilte Ireland carried out probably the most extensive research in this area last year and found pay was an issue, although other significant issues included, as the Deputy mentioned, flexibility,...
