Why Belfast?

stormont Parliament BuildingBelfast is a special place. It is a unique combination of location and people. As a city it is situated on one of the world’s great deep water natural harbours, long known to be a safe port in a storm and surrounded by protective hills that are both wild and accessible and still it is no more than twenty minutes from the city centre to the foothills. This combination produces a special climate that is mild and calm; without extremes it is ideally suited to producing the perfect golf course. The people of Belfast are a unique and special combination of wit and social charm and they love nothing more than ‘the craic’, the Irish term for fun and laughter; but the subtle difference with the term ‘craic’ is that it has no parameters and no time frame; in Belfast the ‘craic’ is endless!

Belfast is therefore the perfect destination for business, for it can offer the standards of a city location with the tranquillity of a back garden that is unspoilt and always green. So perhaps you are looking for the standard template meeting or perhaps you are seeking the unique and unusual? Well you have chosen the correct destination.

For the more adventurous try zip wiring across the River Lagan, a spot of blind off-road driving or experience an unforgettable helicopter ride over the Mourne Mountains, CS Lewis’ inspiration for The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

Take in some of Belfast’s cultural, political and historical past on one of the Black Taxi tours of the infamous Falls and Shankhill Roads and visit some of the local residents for a cultural experience you will never forget.

Or if rest and relaxation is top of the agenda spend an afternoon in the luxurious surroundings of one of Northern Ireland’s new spa resorts.
