Abstract
The industrial decline in Northern Ireland has given rise to a high rate of unemployment (20%), and civil unrest has caused a reduction in holiday traffic. In spite of this the service sector including tourism - has expanded. Three main agencies interact to determine public tourism policy: the Department of Economic Development (DED); the local authorities; and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB). There is no coordination of activities or effective forum for the representation of all tourist interests, and only now is the DED preparing policy guidelines which may enable the various statutory agencies with an involvement in tourism, to evolve purposeful strategies.
