Foster Promotes NI In Brussels
Arlene Foster has been promoting Northern Ireland's tourism and food produce in Brussels.
The Enterprise and Tourism Minister has been promoting Northern Ireland to MEPs and the travel media, naming 2013 as the ideal time for Europeans to visit.
The Minister said: "In the year which sees Londonderry take centre stage as the inaugural UK City of Culture, the arrival of the G8 in Fermanagh, Titanic Belfast marking its first birthday and the World Police and Fire Games, Northern Ireland has so much to offer the European tourist.
"Londonderry – one of the few remaining walled cities in Europe - has been honoured as the inaugural UK City of Culture 2013, outbidding some 13 other cities for the accolade. With a world class programme of events on offer, there has never been a better time to discover this historic city.
"Londonderry will also host the European Business Innovation Centre’s Annual Congress this year organised by NORIBIC NI’s Business Innovation Centre. Apple Co-founder Steve Wozniak has been secured as the headline speaker of this high profile event."
The Northern Ireland Showcase is promoting the country with iconic images including the Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Lough Erne, Royal Portrush Golf Club, L'Derry and Titanic Belfast.
Arlene Foster added: "Titanic Belfast continues to be a major draw for overseas visitors – it broke all records last year attracting over 700,000 people from 129 countries in its first 11 months and we look forward to growing those numbers significantly in 2013."
