Why Belfast?

Belfast is going to be the perfect spot for Recharge 2024. The capital city of Northern Ireland abounds with great food, top-tier attractions and welcoming locals with cheeky charm and fierce wit. Not to mention the ubiquitous craic, which the city runs on as an abundant natural resource.

Also, Irish hospitality is famous around the world. Belfast’s inhabitants are friendly, informative, and, most importantly, great craic. No matter when you go or where you go, you’re likely to make a few friends whether you mean to or not.

Besides the great people, food and amazing culture, Belfast also offers great opportunities for hospitality and real estate!

Belfast City Council has introduced multiple projects to make Belfast a better city for the future. The Healthy Urban Neighbourhoods programme will collaborate with the city’s health sector, businesses, housing providers, community planning partners and universities to maximise the opportunities represented by urban innovation.

Together with bold ambitions to become home to an additional 66,000 residents and increase the number of homes in the city by 31,600 by 2035, there is a renewed focus on delivering city centre housing. Belfast City Council is also working in collaboration with private and public sector partners to bring residential opportunities to the market to meet this growing demand.

Northern Ireland has risen in popularity in the tourism industry as well, especially due to the number of Serviced Apartments on offer in the city. Back in early 2017, there were news articles on Belfast being the fastest growing UK visitor destination and according to Belfast Telegraph serviced accommodation owners earned more than £16 million collectively in 2019. Belfast was also voted best events destination in the world and, the city is also in the Top 20 list of sustainable destinations in the world. Too many opportunities in this city!
