DUBLIN, Aug 29 (Reuters) - The post-pandemic trend of people prioritising travel could be a more permanent change in consumers' spending habits, the head of Ireland's largest hotel group Dalata (DHG.I) said on Tuesday. "Certainly 2, 3, 4 years before COVID people in their 20s would have been prioritizing travel and experiences over buying things. Crowley said there also seemed to be a lasting change in corporate bookings where travellers take fewer trips but stay longer and with Ireland's large multinationals spending far less on business travel than they did pre-COVID. The Dublin-based group said it had 750 million euros available to spend on adding more hotels.
