Britain's exit from the European Union is expected to affect its neighboring countries in many ways. Many experts foresee Brexit negatively impacting the tourism industry in Ireland.
In light of these speculations, a study conducted by Dublin City University suggests that traditional Irish pubs are key to boosting tourism in the country, as the pub tradition is one of the things that sets the country apart from other European holiday destinations. In fact, one out of three visitors states that the Irish pub is Ireland's most distinguishing feature. Moreover, the top-rated tourist experience is listening to Irish music in the pub.

To help the pubs thrive, groups have been urging the national government to cut alcohol tax by 15 percent.
