Dublin is inexpensive and good value for money ,
reports Dublin Convention Bureau
An inexpensive quality venue: Trinity College, Dublin
Hotels.com annual Hotel Price Index survey of capital cities places Dublin as 34th in the world in terms of what customers actually paid for their hotel room in 2007. 'This', says Jean Evans, CEO of Dublin Convention Bureau, 'puts Dublin way below competitor conference cities in Europe, including London, Edinburgh, Rome, Paris, Madrid and many others.
She goes on to say: 'Surveys such as this support our stance that you can get excellent value for money in Dublin and we do not deserve the label of an 'expensive destination'. According to the survey, the average room price in Dublin is an attractive £78 and we even come third in price behind our fellow Irish cities, Galway and Cork.'
Jean points out that 'Room rates in Ireland as a whole remained the same in 2007 as 2006, coming 12th, again considerably behind the top three most expensive countries, the UK, Norway and Switzerland. This means our conference delegates can comfortably extend their stay and explore the rest of our friendly and breathtakingly beautiful country without breaking the bank'.
