Notes:
Other Assistance includes all Invest NI support, both direct and indirect. (E.g. It includes loans made by Carbon Trust.)
2. The Tourism sector is based on Invest NI's internal sector structure and includes accommodation providers and other tourism
businesses.
3. Invest NI revises performance data on a regular basis to ensure that it reflects implemented projects; therefore, the data above may
differ to previously published information.
My Department; Tourism NI or Invest NI does not hold this information. Economic output from tourism in each constituency is the responsibility of The Northern Ireland Statistics & Research Agency (NISRA), an Agency within The Department of Finance & Personnel (DFP).
