CCPC Travel Research 2026
New research from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) reveals that 16% of Irish holidaymakers experienced issues with foreign holidays between May and August of last year. The research also showed that holidaymakers spend almost €2,500 on flights and accommodation so it pays to check what their rights would be in the event they run into a problem with their holiday.
The research findings include:
- Consumers report spending on average €2,473 on their holidays.
- 16% of holidaymakers faced issues while away – most notably with flight delays/reschedules.
- Among all age groups, 18–24-year-olds were most likely to encounter issues, with 29% affected.
- One in three holidaymakers travelled without insurance and almost half of under 35s were not covered by travel insurance. One in ten bought insurance after they bought their holiday.
