After several challenging years for the international travel industry, a new report indicates that visits to Irish distilleries increased dramatically over the past year — a good sign for pandemic recovery in the spirits-related tourism sector.
In 2022, Irish whiskey distilleries recorded a 425 percent year-over-year increase in visitors, according to a Jan. 24 article from The Spirits Business. The Irish Whiskey Association (IWA) released the study, which reports 677,000 annual visitors to the country’s whiskey distilleries.
