SEMRU has released a report that presents estimates of the value of domestic coastal and marine tourism and leisure activities in the Republic of Ireland. This current report is a compliment to the overseas marine tourism report launched by SEMRU last September. For the current report SEMRU carried out a household survey of domestic residents in 2019, funded by the Marine Institute through its Marine Research Programme. The purpose of the survey was to examine participation rates amongst domestic residents in a variety of marine activities; to examine where Irish residents go for overnight coastal visits and to provide estimates of domestic coastal and marine tourism expenditures for the reference year 2018. The full report is available to download at the following link: A survey of domestic coastal and marine tourism an leisure activities in Ireland. For more information, please contact stephen.hynes@nuigalway.ie.
