A summary of the results
The following document summarises the results of the triple bottom line measurement of tourism impact in Belfast. Conducted by Visit Belfast in collaboration with a specialist carbon measurement team from EY, this assessment brings together findings from three research projects carried out in 2024–25:
- a comprehensive carbon impact measurement project
- a resident sentiment survey
- an industry sustainability survey.
Together, these findings provide an evidence-based foundation to inform strategic direction, support data-driven governance, and guide the sustainable growth of Belfast’s tourism sector. This is an initial benchmark to shape future policy, investment, and action.
