More than nine out of 10 hoteliers are worried about the global economy and the potential impact of political uncertainty in key markets, according to new research. Mounting business costs and global uncertainty are also among the primary concerns facing hoteliers as they gather on Monday for the Irish Hotels Federation’s (IHF) annual conference in the Gleneagle, Killarney. While most regions saw an increase in occupancy levels, significant regional disparity persists, ranging from 70 per cent occupancy in the border region to 83 per cent in Dublin. “A focus on value-enhancing investment is essential for the future growth of our sector and tourism industry,” he said. With estimated annual revenues in excess of €5 billion, the Irish hotels and guesthouse sector is a major driver of economic activity and development, directly employing over 69,000 people.

I don’t need it either but I’ve ordered it anyway, my friend says. It’s from King Lear, the ageing monarch’s response to his ungrateful daughter’s assertion that he doesn’t need his own retinue. Reason means logic, restraint, endurance. Reason is not the answer to pain, grief, sorrow, longing, hope or joy.
