tourism is a hugely important indigenous industry, which in 2009 delivered €4 billion in foreign revenue earnings and €1.3 billion in tax receipts, while supporting in the order of 200,000 jobs. Fianna Fáil will work to maximise the economic and social potential of the tourism industry as a core contributor to ireland’s export-led economic recovery. Aim to increase the number of overseas visitors to 8 million by 2015, by  focussing on the markets most likely to deliver growth and the United Kingdom as our single biggest source of visitors.
