The Dark Hedges in north Antrim received a tourism boost due to the popularity of HBO series Game of Thrones.
Tourism in Northern Ireland earned more than £1bn in a year for the first time in 2019, the latest official figures suggest.The Stormont Executive had a target of £1bn in annual revenue by 2020.Tourism numbers can be difficult to measure accurately from year to year but the data points to a statistically significant increase in visitor numbers and spending between 2017 and 2019.
Domestic tourism was the largest segment of the market, accounting for 44% of the 5.3m overnight trips in 2019. Great Britain was the next largest , followed by the Republic of Ireland and the rest of the world .Earlier this year tourism industry leaders told MLAs that revenues could fall to around £400m in 2020 and that it would take at least two years to recover."Northern Ireland's tourism industry is facing extremely challenging conditions at the moment and I am doing all I can to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on the sector," she explained.
I would like to visit there sometime. See a parade. I know they're tense but I enjoy tension, I'm an entropy fan!
And in 2020....

Go to the north coast!
Downturn not due to Corona but the reaction to Corona
i don't know how much of this was built on the back of Game of Thrones but the series ended some time back so they were always going to suffer some decline - people will move onto the next big series
I was a part of that 2019 tourism in Northern Ireland. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I thank you profusely for my opportunity to visit there. I will come back if I ever can!

Ministers quietly lower minimum salary threshold for migrants settling in UKMigrants will no longer need to earn a minimum salary of £35,800 to settle in the UK It's not a question of race, religion, skin colour or any of that rubbish but the country's full. There isn't enough land to grow food, we have the smallest homes of any in the developed world and our infrastructure is collapsing. No more migrants please, at all no matter who. So they realised that Jeremy Corbyn was right then... again. Can't have all the jobs fulfilled with what they need when you don't have the people to fill them. Don’t need money just get on a boat doesn’t even have to be under the cover of nightfall.
