Food tourism, also known as culinary tourism, has seen an increase in popularity around the world and food is a vital element in Northern Ireland tourism.

Creating content and an online presence for your culinary business will not only help to promote the food tourism industry but expose your brand to a much wider audience and allow you to achieve the benefits it creates.
Screen tourism
For many years, film induced tourism has been very common and Northern Ireland has become a first class filming location for film and TV production studios. The locations used in these productions become go to spots for tourists to visit while in Northern Ireland and Ireland.
This creates opportunities for businesses in the area, hospitality and tourism services. A great example of this is the effect Games of Thrones on Northern Ireland tourism. Many businesses have created visitor experiences related to the TV series such as escape rooms, dining experiences and more.
We have created video content with thousands of views for the Game of Thrones Tapestry exhibition as well as many of the filming locations that have created a huge draw for visitors in Northern Ireland tourism.
