Titanic Belfast Rated Five-Star Experience
Titanic Belfast has become the first visitor attraction in Northern Ireland to be rated as a five-star experience, Tourism Minister Arlene Foster has announced.
The five-star accreditation was awarded under a new NITB scheme designed to provide visitors with quality grading information on Northern Ireland's tourist attractions.
To achieve a star-rating, attractions are subject to checks from a mystery visitor and are assessed in up to six categories.
Congratulating the staff on their achievement, Arlene Foster said: "Titanic Belfast's success has been nothing short of spectacular, especially in term of visitor numbers since its opening in April 2012.
"Research shows that visitors value the star ratings provided by tourist boards, as it provides them with an independent and reliable grading, which helps to inform the decision making process.
"It is vital that we are able to let visitors know our attractions are about quality experiences and world-class standards. Independent quality accreditations not only show this clearly, but help the industry to remain competitive. I applaud Titanic Belfast for their continued commitment to excellence."
