Our strategic objectives are to drive forward visitor spend of £100m to the local economy by 1 million visitors by 2025 which will support 5,000 jobs in the developing tourism sector.
The Visit Derry mission is:
"To attract more visitors to the destination and ensure that they enjoy an experience that is legendary".
We will do this by promoting the historic, walled city as a hub for visiting the destination and making sure that those who visit can experience the vibrancy of our urban areas and tranquillity of our natural hinterland. Our immediate goal is to attract 1m visitors, spending £100m each year.
