Game of Thrones in Tapestry

A brand new Tourism Ireland campaign will showcase Northern Ireland once again as Game of Thrones® Territory to millions of fans worldwide.

The campaign, which is supported by Tourism NI, will also be rolled out – by Tourism NI – in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

This year’s campaign is bigger than ever before – featuring a 77-metre long, Bayeux-style tapestry which tells the story so far from season 1 to season 6 in #gameofthrones. The tapestry brings to life the trials and tribulations of the show’s characters in its most epic and famous scenes – complete with blood red weddings, golden Lannister hair, emerald green wildfire, cold blue White Walkers and jet black crows. 

The tapestry will be woven from one enormous piece of linen supplied by Thomas Ferguson’s in Banbridge, one of the last surviving linen mills in Northern Ireland – giving fans a chance to re-visit all the key events which led to the season 7 premiere.

John McGrillen, CEO of Tourism NI; Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland; and Kathryn Thomson, CEO of the Ulster Museum, at the launch of the 2017 Game of Thrones campaign in the Ulster Museum, Belfast.

National Trust hide-aways

THE NATIONAL TRUST has hundreds of places to stay across England, Wales and Northern Ireland this summer. 

From former fishermen's houses on the coast and farmhouses with plenty of space for all the family (and the dog) to stone dwellings in the back and beyond, the trust’s property collection has something to cater for all self-catering tastes.

Here are some new for 2016 …

Ferry Cottage, Brixham, Devon: Thanks to a National Trust restoration project, this Grade 2 Listed detached cottage on Agatha Christie's famous Greenway estate opens for the first time this summer. The two double bedrooms have uninterrupted views across the River Dart towards the village of Dittisham. Guests have free access to Greenway House during opening hours and unlimited access to gardens during their stay.

9 Arlington Row, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire: Thousands of tourists flock to the Cotswold village of Bibury to photograph the cottages on Arlington Row. Number 9 is the only holiday cottage in this location. The buildings date back to 1380 when their function was a monastic wool store. Sleeps three.

The Old Rectory, Rhossili, Swansea: This house dates from 1850s and is above a wide expanse of sandy beach, with uninterrupted views of the sea and the tidal island of Worm's Head. Dylan Thomas nearly bought this house, but at 15 minutes from the nearest pub it was a walk too far. Rhossili Bay is good for surfing. Sleeps seven.

Rockside Cottage, Northumberland: The cottage is part of a square of fishermen's houses. Sleeps four.

Woodford Cottage, County Fermanagh: A former piggery on the Crom Estate, the cottage has two bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. Guests can spend the holiday fishing, biking, kayaking, and walking without ever needing to leave the estate. Sleeps four + a cot.

Triumphal Arch, Leominster, Herefordshire: Designed by Henry Holland, this unusual cottage is situated in one half of the entrance archway to the Berrington Hall Estate. The cottage has a private garden, and guests have access to Berrington's Capability Brown-designed gardens and parkland when the house is closed to the public. Sleeps five.

Greenlands, Studland, Dorset: Newly-renovated by the trust, Greenlands is a farmhouse on the edge of Poole Harbour. The house has views over the harbour across to Brownsea Island (a haven for wildlife, including the rare red squirrel) and inland over Dorset Heathland. Sleeps five.

Watermill Apartment, North Norfolk: A watermill conversion beside the coast road between Wells and Brancaster, with fine views of the stream and surrounding countryside. Sleeps four + two.

East Cottage, White Cliffs of Dover, Kent: This former lighthouse keeper's cottage is in one of the most dramatic places in England. Sleeps four.

Lighthouse Keeper's cottage 1 and 2, Souter Lighthouse, Tyne and Wear: These historic cottages are on the clifftops on the North-East coast. Both cottages sleep four.

Game of Thrones trail for Northern Ireland

TOURISM #IRELAND launched its latest campaign celebrating Northern Ireland as #GameofThrones Territory for the sixth year running. The campaign will roll out weekly until the end of season six at the end of June. 

A feature of the campaign is a series of ten intricately carved doors, depicting moments inspired by this season. The doors will be unveiled each week as season six unfolds. They will be carved from trees blown down in this winter’s storms at the Dark Hedges in Co. Antrim, which serves as the backdrop for the Kingsroad – perhaps the most iconic Game of Thrones location in Northern Ireland.

The doors will hang in pubs and other venues near filming locations across Northern Ireland, giving visitors a Game of Thrones Territory trail to follow. Tourism Ireland will release a mixture of short films and images from the campaign on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube in ten markets – including Great Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia.

Golf tournament for Belfast

THE BELFAST PARKLAND INTERNATIONAL tournament is the first regional golf cluster to be set up under Northern Ireland’s #Golf #Tourism Strategy. It has been created by the Greater #Belfast Golf Cluster.

The annual tournament (July 3-9) will showcase five prestigious golf clubs in the Belfast area and will offer golfing tourists the opportunity of playing three, four, or all five parkland courses. It’s open to both men and women golfers.

Belfast is the pilot cluster in ongoing work by Tourism NI and the industry to develop further geographic golf cluster groups in Northern Ireland as part of the Golf Tourism Strategy, which aims to make golf tourism worth £50 million to the economy by 2020. 

The founding clubs in the Greater Belfast Golf Cluster include Rory McIlroy’s home club, Holywood Golf Club, Belvoir Park Golf Club, Malone Golf Club, Royal Belfast Golf Club, and Shandon Park Golf Club.

Simon Wallace, Tourism NI Golf Sales and Marketing manager, said: ‘Our links courses such as Royal Portrush and Royal County Down are world-famous and rightly so, but we also have a host of fantastic parkland courses, with some of the best located within the Belfast cluster.

‘Tourism NI is also committed to growing the value of golf tourism and to the development of further golf clusters. They will work on a collaborative marketing group basis to grow golf visitor numbers and revenue, and showcase Northern Ireland as a must-visit golfing destination.’

Heritage status for Ireland’s geoparks

IRELAND’S three geoparks – The Burren & Cliffs of Moher, Copper Coast, and Marble Arch Caves – have been awarded UNESCO World Heritage site status. 

The Copper Coast park is in Co. Waterford, the Burren & Cliffs of Moher is in Co. Clare, and the Marble Arch Caves park is in Co. Fermanagh, and stretches across the Northern Ireland border into Co. Cavan.

Professor Patrick McKeever at UNESCO explained: ‘UNESCO has, for the first time since the signing of the World Heritage Convention in 1972, created a new site designation, the UNESCO Global Geopark. These are areas where the memories of our planet are written, but they are also living areas, with vibrant communities, and strategies to promote sustainable economic development and are linked together in a worldwide network of cooperation.

‘In Ireland, the three UNESCO global geoparks have geological heritage of international value but they all face different challenges. The Burren & Cliffs of Moher has the challenge of managing the visitors to this magnificent part of #Ireland in a way that doesn't diminish the visitor experience or damage the environment or the quality of life for those who live here. It has facilitated many local initiatives which not only offer the visitor a wider range of things to do and the chance to stay longer, but do so in a way that is inclusive of the local communities and helps spread the benefit of tourism wider.’

Tourism promotion targets Spain for holidays in Ulster

COMMUTERS in #Barcelona are seeing advertisements for Belfast and Northern Ireland in metro stations and on buses on the city’s busy thoroughfares. #Tourism Ireland has teamed up with Visit Belfast and Vueling for a promotional campaign which aims to raise awareness of Belfast as a city break destination and to drive sales of Vueling flights from Barcelona to Belfast this autumn. The campaign also includes online advertising and e-marketing.

The campaign includes extensive online advertising on newspaper and travel websites. E-mail marketing will reach 1.3 million potential holidaymakers in this part of Spain and a further one million people on Vueling’s own database.

‘In 2014, we welcomed approximately 32,000 Spanish visitors to Northern Ireland, up by 23% on the previous year,’ says Barbara Wood, Tourism Ireland’s manager in Spain. ‘We are undertaking an extensive programme of promotions throughout 2015, to grow Spanish visitor numbers to Northern Ireland. Our campaign with Visit Belfast and Vueling is an important element of that programme, to boost travel to Northern Ireland during the autumn months.

‘As an island, the importance of convenient, direct, non-stop flights cannot be overstated – they are absolutely critical to achieving growth in inbound tourism.’

Ulster’s white knuckle walk re-opens

A CLIFF FACE walk in County Antrim, #Northern Ireland, designed and built more than a century ago has been re-opened to the public.

The #Gobbinscoastalpath in #Islandmagee was the brainchild of Irish railway engineer Berkley Deane Wise. It opened in 1902 and soon became famous as a white knuckle walk. Edwardian-era visitors were able to have close encounters with waves and wildlife.

The path, which is carved into black basalt cliffs, was an engineering triumph: it's connected by a network of walkways and bridges, the most iconic of which was a tubular bridge. Post-war austerity meant decline for the 1.5 mile walkway; it was closed to the public in the 1950s.

A £7.5 million restoration project began in 2013, replacing bridges, hand rails, and constructing a new visitors centre.

Before starting the walk, visitors are given a safety briefing and a hard hat in the visitors centre.

The walk is described as strenuous and is not suitable for everyone. No-one under the height of 3’ 9” will be allowed to take the walk, and visitors with cardiac, respiratory, asthmatic, or joint conditions are urged not to attempt it.

Groups of 10 to 15 will be guided along the bridges which cling to the cliff face just feet above the sea. The route allows visitors to see coastal birds such as Puffins, Guillemots and Kittiwakes up close. It's also possible to spot porpoises off the coast.

Tours should be booked in advance and the costs are £8.50 for adults, concessions £6, and a family rate of £23.

Ulster in drive for Australian tourists

AUSTRALIA offers significant potential for tourism to Northern Ireland, according to a new Tourism Ireland strategy. 

The three-year strategy for growth sets out ambitious targets which will see the number of Australian visitors grow by +20% by the end of 2017.

#Australia is the third most important market for tourism to Northern Ireland (after mainland Britain and the United States) in terms of visitor numbers and revenue.

The strategy highlights key factors working in Ulster’s favour: 

· Recent strong performance: since 2010, visitors from Australia to the island of #Ireland have grown by more than 40%; in 2014, more than 180,000 Australians visited the #island of Ireland. One-third of all Australian visitors include Northern Ireland in their itinerary.

· Strong cultural affinity: Ireland and Australia have many things in common, including language, heritage, sense of humour, love of sport … and both drive on the left.

· Improved air access: there are twice-daily, one-stop flights now available between Australia and Ireland (via the Middle East). Australians who are visiting Great Britain and mainland Europe can also use excellent connecting flights to Belfast.

· Australians are highly prized visitors; they travel throughout the year, stay longer (on average 12 nights), spend more (approximately £760 – almost double the average visitor spend), and like to get off the beaten track – so are more likely than other nationalities to tour rural areas.

Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland, said: ‘Australia has performed well for #tourism to Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland in recent years and the future is undoubtedly bright. We believe this is a market of considerable potential over the coming years – given that these high-spending visitors travel right throughout the year and enjoy getting off the beaten track.’
