World Tourism Day- looking forward to welcoming delegates to the NITA Conference @TitanicBelfast. Themes-People, Planet & Prosperity. Presenting @GrantThorntonUK report 'Valuing Tourism in NI', joint Skills Plan with HATS & keynotes from @jaynecbrady @HilaryMcGrady #NITAConf2023

[Joanne Stuart @j1lstuart]

Only a month to go until @OneYoungWorld comes to Belfast. Delighted to have been part of the advisory group to bring this vision to life.

[Joanne Stuart @j1lstuart]

@JohmDevlin @StephenFarryMP Yes, it is needed if you are transiting through NI even if you aren't stopping.

[Joanne Stuart @j1lstuart]

My sister @McCrackenSara is on @bbc5live talking about the @EmpatheyesVisio solution developed by @Angeleyes_ni! Proud sister!!

[Joanne Stuart @j1lstuart]

Great to see @ClaireHanna raising issue of ETA at #PMQs. Overseas tourists account for almost 25% of total visitor spend in NI with the majority travelling across the land border. Whether coming to stay overnight, spend a day or 2 hrs every non-visa national will require an ETA

[Northern Ireland Tourism Alliance (NITA) @NIrelandTA]

Thanks @ClaireHannah for continuing to raise ETA. Disappointing to see confusion with NI protocol. Two separate issues & must be treated as such. Hope to meet @robertjenrick in the coming weeks to find a workable solution& provide certainty to NI's tourists& tourism economy.

[Joanne Stuart @j1lstuart]

Amazing sea as the backdrop to the @IAAT_ie conference at @Slievedonard. Looking forward to the panel discussion. @NIrelandTA

[Joanne Stuart @j1lstuart]

Good to see @StephenFarryMP noting the need for an ETA exemption for RoI residents and tourists. Any barrier hampering movement of tourists into NI would be a devastating blow to our tourism economy.

[Northern Ireland Tourism Alliance (NITA) @NIrelandTA]

Interesting article by @freymcc on the proposed introduction of an ETA. So many details of this legislation are still unclear and concerning for the tourism industry in NI. Pushing for enhanced engagement from @ukhomeoffice to find a workable solution

Delighted to be the first event to support @VisitBelfast 'Changing The Menu' initiative at our event today @TitanicBelfast
Making this small change to our menu makes a significant contribution to those who are in need
