Speaking about the findings, the Managing Director of MyHome.ie, Joanne Geary said: "The cost of living crisis has had a significant impact on people for the past year, and now we are seeing that effect on the holiday market. It is clear that many people feel priced out of the Irish holiday market this year, and many of them have had to adapt and be flexible in order to get a much-needed break.”
She added that a significant cohort of respondents said they were forced to change their holiday accommodation plans due to financial constraints.
She continued: "Almost half of the respondents (46%) in this survey told us that they would rather rent a holiday home in Ireland than stay in a hotel. This corresponds with what we see on MyHome.ie, with an overall 36% rise in the number of inquiries for holiday home listings both at home and abroad in the first five months of this year compared to the same period in 2022."
