Didn’t they hike the prices around visiting the cliffs of moher too?
That’s what happens when you start fleecing people. Cliffs of Mohr is probably the most expensive car park in the country.
It’s almost like the attractions decided that now they want three times as much as they did before 2020, and people are saying “no, I’ll do something else instead”.
I’m delighted for them. Greed is a sin after all.
These things used to be free, instead of building good services we’d be happy to pay for, they charge for parking and entry.
If you’ve seen them before, you’re not likely to go back now especially after a price hike.
The hospitality sector (specifically those who are aimed at tourists) have been price gouging everyone for the last number of years, even when the government cut their VAT and also filled up a number of hotels with refugees
I genuinely don’t give a single fuck about them. Greedy bastards the lot of them, so as far as I’m concerned a lot of them made their beds and now they can sleep in it
I know the hospitality sector is a massive employer in this country but there is really nobody to blame in this situation except themselves. I wouldn’t even mind if it was just the major hotel chains and pubs / restaurants. The biggest culprits of price gouging ive noticed in the last number of years has been the family owned / small to medium sized businesses too. The same ones who feel entitled to supporting local businesses.

So according to the waybackmachine, tickets to the [Guiness Storehouse in 2018](https://web.archive.org/web/20180731162425/https://www.guinness-storehouse.com/en#) (couldn’t get a 2019 one to load, but didn’t try too hard) cost 17.50 for an adult. They now go for €26. [CPI Inflation Calculator](https://visual.cso.ie/?body=entity/cpicalculator) gives a 2023 price of €20.80
Cliffs have surprisingly complicated pricing, the Journal reports the price being [€4 (advanced booking) or €8](https://www.thejournal.ie/cliffs-of-moher-like-a-pro-4659565-May2019/) today is €7 (off peak) to €10.
Who honestly gives a fuck
