About

Founded in 1937, the Irish Hotels Federation (IHF) is the national organisation of the hotel and guesthouse industry in Ireland. The primary functions of the Federation are to promote and defend the interests of its members. The IHF represents almost 1,000 hotels and guesthouses nationwide, employing over 57,000 people and is a key stakeholder in the Irish tourism sector. The Cork Branch of the Irish Hotels Federation represents over 100 hotels and guesthouses in Cork with approximately 4,900 bedrooms (almost 11,000 beds). Tourism is now estimated to support 19,000 jobs in Cork and contributes over €800m to the local economy annually. Cork IHF is fully behind the ‘Growing Tourism in Cork’ five year strategy launched in 2016 with a view to increasing domestic and international visitor numbers to Cork. The strategy has assumed even greater importance in the face of the potential impact of Brexit.
