The Northern Ireland Hotels Federation will assist the industry to secure direct business by administering the fund. 

The co-operative marketing fund will run from August 2021 through to 31st March 2022 so there is plenty of time to plan and execute your marketing plans for the GB market. The closing date for applications is 13th August 2021.
