Tourism to Ireland continues to rise with current projections indicating that tourism will become the largest industry in Ireland. This book does not have any direct competition, as other budget guides to Ireland cater to a much lower class of travel and "regular" guides to the country focus on much more upscale hotels and restaurants. Millions of Australian's forebears came from Ireland, and many visit Ireland to research family history and roots.
This guide offers user-friendly features including special icons to point readers to great finds, excellent values, insider tips, best bets for kids, special moments, and overrated experiences.
