1. Online Promotion and Offers
Who: Hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs, guest accommodation, self-catering and visitor attractions graded by Tourism NI. Some visitor experiences will also be eligible.
Accommodation participants are asked to provide an overnight rate – added value is encouraged where possible. Visitor attractions and experiences should provide a ticket price or package so that customers can fully understand the value of a break in Northern Ireland. Free experiences are permitted. Flexible cancellation policies are encouraged.
Accommodation offers must be bookable online and all are subject to availability. You must provide a live booking link as part of the application process. Tickets should be bookable online where possible as this has been proven to be most attractive for customers.
The most successful participants in previous campaigns have developed bespoke landing pages with visitor information content and itinerary ideas. We encourage you to consider this if possible.
Participants are encouraged to sign up for the TXGB booking platform that is being piloted by Tourism NI. This will allow greater integration with the campaign and ease the booking process for consumers.
2. Co-operative Marketing Fund
Who: Only those taking part in section 1 who are willing to fund their own advertising.
The Co-operative Marketing Fund is designed to support your own advertising or PR in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. If your planned activity meets the criteria, the fund will cover 50% of your costs up to a maximum total payment of £5,000 per industry provider.
Those who wish to avail of this fund should note that:
