Statement By Tourism Ireland's Manager Germany
The statement published on Tourism Ireland's website included a statement from Tourism Ireland's manager Germany, Nadine Lehmann, in which she said, "Titanic Belfast has been an iconic Belfast visitor attraction for 10 years now, telling the story of the city’s rich shipbuilding and industrial heritage. Tourism Ireland is taking every opportunity to highlight the 10th anniversary and to remind potential German visitors about the famous ship’s connection with Belfast and Northern Ireland. Regional newspapers in Germany are widely read and the articles by these journalists will be seen by over 400,000 people - encouraging them to come and explore Belfast and Northern Ireland for themselves.
"Tourism Ireland undertakes a busy publicity programme in Germany each year to raise the profile of Northern Ireland - and visits like this are a key element of that programme."
