The graph shows the number of visitors


to Dublin between the period 2006 and
2012 and the revenue created by the
visitors (in millions of Euro). Interestingly,
the number of visitors has decreased
significantly since 2008, but revenue
has not responded proportionately. This
would signify that the cost per visitor
has probably risen during this time,
suggesting that Dublin is becoming a
more expensive city to visit.
