The Tourism Recovery Taskforce has called for radical steps to sustain and revive the industry post-Covid 19 including €120 million in grant aid, a loan scheme and staggered school holidays.
Chair of the Tourism Recovery Taskforce and CEO of the Incoming Tour Operators Association Ruth Andrews said any longer-term recovery plan for the sector will depend on a more immediate survival phase to sustain businesses through the next six months and to keep key strategic assets in place.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, she said the market will recover but needs to ensure it is in a strong position when that recovery does come.
