Northern Ireland Screen, a UK government agency financed by Invest NI and the European Regional Development Fund, helped fund Game of Thrones. [118] Tourism Ireland has a Game of Thrones-themed marketing campaign similar to New Zealand's Tolkien-related advertising. [119] [120] According to First Minister Arlene Foster, the series has given Northern Ireland the most publicity in its history apart from The Troubles. [121] The production of Game of Thrones and other TV series boosted Northern Ireland's creative industries, contributing to an estimated 12.4 percent growth in arts, entertainment and recreation jobs between 2008 and 2013 (compared with 4.3 percent in the rest of the UK during the same period). [122] After filming had finished, HBO converted its filming locations in Northern Ireland into tourist attractions to be opened in 2019. [123] By 2019, 350,000 visitors, or one sixth of all tourists, came to Northern Ireland annually because of Game of Thrones. [124] a b c Jarvey, Natalie (April 9, 2015).
