Belfast Included in National Geographic's 'Cool List 2024'

National Geographic Traveller (UK) has unveiled its 'Cool List 2024' – the 30 most exciting destinations to visit in 2024 – and Belfast and the Wild Atlantic Way feature on the list.

Welcoming the news, Alice Mansergh, Tourism Ireland's Chief Executive Designate, said: "I'm really delighted that Belfast and the Wild Atlantic Way have been included in National Geographic Traveller's 'Cool List 2024'. Next year, we'll be promoting Belfast 2024, which will see a programme of cultural events take place across the city. Accolades like this give Tourism Ireland another great hook to continue to promote Belfast, Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland around the world as a 'must see' destination."

This is what National Geographic Traveller had to say about Belfast: "A long-promised year of culture comes to the home of the Titanic … Most details are still under wraps, but Belfast's riverfront and maritime heritage will loom large, with a mass boat-building initiative, among others."
