Report of Tourism Policy Review Group: Statements.
The report also recommends that the Government look at the possibility of an additional terminal for Dublin Airport. This has been mooted and speculated upon and is being investigated. It should be provided as soon as possible. It is particularly important in light of the projected increase in the number of tourists to which the report refers. At present, there are 6 million overseas visitors to the country every year and it is estimated that this will rise to 10 million. It is imperative, therefore, that the facilities at Dublin and other airports should improve to cater for the additional 4 million visitors it is hoped will visit these shores in the next ten years.
