Posted 26 July 2017:

55% of IHF members saw no change in numbers of visits from NI, but 35% reported having fewer and only 10% reported an increase in visitor numbers.

Despite some shrinkage in the NI market, more than 75% of IHF members reported business being up overall over last year, and 70% reported increases in domestic visits.

Weakness of the GBP since the Brexit referendum vote is likely the main cause of fewer visits from NI and other parts of the UK. And properties near the Ireland/NI border are probably suffering most from this situation.
