Recovery Task Force To Outline Future Plan For Tourism Sector

Ireland's tourism industry is facing revenue losses of 6 billion euro this year.

The Tourism Recovery Taskforce says the sector provided 9 billion to the economy last year, but this year it's likely to be less than 3 billion.
It says 180,000 jobs have been lost or are at risk this year, and the impact of Covid-19's likely to continue well into 2021.
It'll appear before an Oireachtas committee later to provide details of a new three year recovery plan for Irish tourism.
