Titanic Belfast generates 430m in direct spending in NI in 10 years - report

A landmark visitor attraction that tells the story of the Titanic has generated an estimated £430 million of direct spending in Northern Ireland since it opened 10 years ago, a report has found.

The award-winning Titanic Belfast, which is now synonymous with the city's skyline, has welcomed almost 6.5 million visitors from 145 different countries since opening its doors on 31 March 2012.

The estimated economic assessment of the centre, which is built in the heart of Belfast's regenerated docklands area, was outlined in a report by Deloitte commissioned to mark the ten-year milestone.

Titanic Belfast also used its birthday celebrations to announce a multimillion-pound refresh of the galleries that chart the history of the doomed liner from its construction in the city's shipyards to its ill-fated maiden voyage in April 1912.
