Replying to @NITouristBoard
@NITouristBoard has published the latest results of their research tracking consumer sentiment in the Northern Ireland (NI) market, measuring travel behaviour in early 2026 and travel intentions for the coming months. This needs be a wake-up call for @ANDborough, @deptinfra, @Economy_NI and @daera_ni. Strangford Lough and the surrounding area is falling away as a destination region. Yet visiting a beach generates the strongest interest, with 'Coastal' breaks being the most considered for Summer 2026. A collective effort to raise the standard in the Ards Peninsula is required, from our roads to recognition of what drives tourism on the Ards Peninsula. tourismni.com/globalassets/i… @NIrelandTA @PensTourism @JimShannonMP

Look after dogs in warm weather! 🐶🐾 • Walk them when its cooler • Do a 5 second #tarmactest to see if ground is too hot for their paws • Leaving a dog in hot car can kill them, leaving window open isn't enough 🔗More: nidirect.gov.uk/publications…

Many teenagers will possibly be going to parties, gigs, festivals, or even on their first solo holiday over the coming weeks. Think about talking to your children about the risks associated with drinking alcohol, vaping and taking drugs: nidirect.gov.uk/information-… @publichealthni
