Tourists wielding electronic devices and listening to podcasts will soon
become a feature of the formerly mean streets of the Shankill and Falls
Roads in Belfast.
Free downloadable audio guides will be available from the local tourist board
website from next month for the first time. Visitors will also visit the
city’s tourist information centre, where devices can be rented for %26pound;8 a day.
There will be six podcasts covering different parts of Belfast, each
suggesting a walking route. The tourist board hopes that they will encourage
visitors to see Northern Ireland’s capital by foot, rather than using
tourist buses and %26ldquo;taxi tours%26rdquo;.
Mary Jo McCanny, director of visitor servicing at the Belfast Visitor and
Convention Bureau, said: %26ldquo;For example with our Shankill podcast, you will be
able to start from outside City Hall and then follow directions to get to
the Shankill Road. From there there will be 11 attractions to see.%26rdquo;
