Tourism Team
The Tourism Team at Mid Ulster District Council works to develop and promote Mid Ulster as a visitor destination. We collaborate with local tourism providers, attractions, accommodation businesses and event organisers to strengthen the district’s tourism offering and enhance visitor experiences.
Our team promotes Mid Ulster through the Visit Mid Ulster website, marketing campaigns, social media activity and regional partnerships. We also support tourism businesses through networking opportunities, industry engagement, product development advice and visitor information services.
If you operate a tourism or hospitality business in Mid Ulster, the Tourism Team can help you promote your offering and connect with opportunities within the local tourism network.
