Irish SME tourism businesses :
findings and recommendations.
Technical Report.
Ollscoil Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath/Dublin City University.
The research presented in this report is centred on an investigation
into the financial management skills of a sample of owner-managers
of small and micro tourism enterprises. Perceived gaps in the
information sources available to the owner-manager in running the
business and in planning, controlling and making decisions for the
future were identified. In addition, the satisfaction levels of the
owner-managers regarding other supports provided to them by
Fáilte Ireland and by the accountancy profession were investigated.
