Pound's weakness can be boon to North tourism, says Minister

The North must use the crash in the value of the pound against the euro and dollar to boost visitor numbers, Tourism Minister Arlene Foster said today.

Unveiling plans to attract visitors from overseas and closer to home next year she said: “It is vital that Northern Ireland seeks to take advantage of the current Sterling exchange rate in order to attract increased visitors from the Republic of Ireland as well as European and US markets.”
