Titanic Belfast contributes £54.3m to city's economy
Northern Ireland museum Titanic Belfast has contributed an estimated £54.3m to the city's economy in the year since it opened.
The six-floor building, which includes nine interpretive and interactive galleries, informs visitors about the construction of RMS Titanic and the wider story of the country's industrial and maritime history.
Touted as the world's largest Titanic visitor experience, the attraction opened on 31 March 2012, in time for the 100th anniversary of the ship's fateful maiden voyage.
In the one year since it opened its doors, more than 800,000 people have visited the museum and it is believed the attraction brought an additional 460,000 to the city, increasing hotel occupancy levels to record numbers during the summer months.
The museum also acts as a venue for conferences, banqueting, exhibitions, weddings and other functions.
