New Survey Reveals Connemara As The Most Beautiful Place For An Irish Staycation

Connemara has topped the polls as the number one place people want to visit this summer! 

New research carried out by Jurys Inn and Leonardo Hotels UK revealed almost two-thirds of Irish holidaymakers are planning staycations this year.

64% of people polled said they would be following government guidelines this summer, and opting for a staycation in Ireland, rather than a holiday abroad.

To encourage people to book a staycation, Jurys also asked their audience what they thought where the most ‘Instagrammable’ scenes could be found across the island.

Connemara in Galway has polled as the most picture-perfect location with over a third of Irish adults voting it as their number one beauty spot.

Commenting on the findings, Suzanne Cannon, Head of Marketing at Jurys Inn, said: “While the lockdown has hit everyone hard, it is wonderful to see an appreciation of the beautiful landscapes and locations Ireland has to offer and to see people get excited about exploring wonders closer to home.”

Here are five pictures that prove Connemara is THE most beautiful spot in all of Ireland!
