In March 2024, we installed people counters along the Maritime Mile. Since then, we’ve recorded 5.4M pedestrian journeys, with 400K in May alone during #NationalWalkingMonth!
This data will shape future development of a more vibrant, connected waterfront. #MaritimeMile

Kicking off the day at @VisitBelfast’s 2025–26 Business Plan Launch at @TitanicBelfast.
Lots to take away - especially around how we continue to evolve and energise Belfast’s waterfront as a space for locals and visitors alike.
