Titanic Belfast Awarded Five Stars

Titanic Belfast has become the first visitor attraction in Northern Ireland to be rated as a 'five-star' experience by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB).

Congratulating the staff on their achievement, Tourism Minister 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."

Caroline Adams, NITB Quality and Standards Manager, added: "Titanic Belfast has set the bar as high as it can go in terms of visitor numbers, quality, customer service and the visitor experience they are delivering. I encourage others to follow their five-star lead and make the Northern Ireland tourism industry truly outstanding."

Titanic Belfast’s Chief Executive Tim Husbands remarked: "It is a great honour for Titanic Belfast to be named the first-ever recipient of the Northern Ireland Tourist Board’s 5-star quality grading for a Visitor Attraction."
