This comes at a time when industrial leaders are an increase in the number of vacationers who choose the wonderful road and air – whether they are looking for “getting rid of digital toxins” or just cheaper stay.
Central Statistics Office numbers confirm that there are 21,666 Campervans under a license in the Republic last year. This includes approximately 8,000 newly registered since 2020 alone – the year in which the epidemic changed the scene of tourism.
Kon Cowell, who represents hundreds of camps on the island of Ireland as the CEO of the Irish Caravan Council and the camp, said that the epidemic presented “a batch, but it was growing before that, and growth continues even after Kofid.”
Mr. Cowell, who runs Blaarny Caravan and Camping Park at Co. said. CORK, camping holidays – whether vehicles or tents are used as an analgesic – “more affordable for people as a judiciary.”
It is difficult to get low -cost air prices for common destinations this year, while hotels in the home remain expensive for many families who feel pressure on the cost of living.
And Mr. Cowel said, as much as anything, people reserve camping holidays for “freedom and proximity to nature.”
“The need to get rid of digital toxins” is “the entire driving of the market”, among the “busy professionals who are looking to stop the families looking to escape from the screens”, said Sarah Cook, who runs the need to get rid of digital toxins “is” the entire driving of the market “, among the” busy professionals who are looking to stop the families looking to escape from the screens “.
She said: “People want to come and only want to close, throw the phone in the box and not hear from anyone, from civilization.
“Our life is exhausting and digital that the exit to the vehicle and escape in nature is definitely driving [the trend]”
Mrs. Cook said that the camps sites here have “great facilities” and many of them “along the coast, and they are often in the back of the sand dunes.”
“They have great facilities for children – fluctuations, slices and everything you need. Often during the summer vacation or Easter, there will be different things like Easter egg paths or even things on Halloween.
“Therefore, there are definitely activities in the camps that attract people,” she added.
Ms. Cook said: Visitors from abroad are more than the idea of ​​Campervan.
They seem to have more weather -resistant approach to their paths than typical Irish vacationers.
“I think the local market is in contact a little more than the weather in Ireland. But from America, in a sunny place like California, they actually love the rain a little.”
Many of its clients abroad “just follow the sun”.
“We had a lady who came last week from America, and it was rain here in Dublin. The next thing I was able to see, she had beautiful pictures of my sunny Blander on Instagram.
“I looked at the place where the sun was applying the weather and went there, and many of them do so. They only walk where the sun is.”
Mrs. Cook said that most Irish people “believe it is mad” pushed the country in pursuit of sunlight for a few hours.
“They are traveling from huge states such as Wyoming and Colorado, so they are accustomed to these huge distances,” she said.
Dingle is the most popular place for its customers, as it was the vast majority of visitors who wanted to try “incredible marketing” that was the Atlantic Wild Road.
Most of them “treat themselves” by spending a night or two in a four or five -star hotel along the way.
Civil society organizations are 20 % increase in tourists in camping from abroad last year compared to 2023.
