“Our data shows that Irish holidaymakers are exploring both the nearest and farthest corners of the globe for their 2023 escapes, with places such as Dingle and Kinsale proving particularly popular for domestic holidays, while sunny Spanish hotspots top the trending international destinations list.
“As the cold draws in, we often find searches for sunnier climes on the rise - and this year has been no exception - with beach and national park categories proving the most popular for bookings over the festive period.
“Whether based in Cork or Cape Town, there’s never been a better time to host on Airbnb and earn additional income to help with the rising cost of living,” Amanda Cupples, General Manager for Northern Europe at Airbnb, said.
