The Game Of Thrones Effect On The Northern Irish Economy

BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND - AUGUST 13: Taxidermist and Game of Thrones supplier of creature and fur skins, Ingrid Houwers pictured in her workshop with some of her creations previously used on the television programme on August 13, 2015 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. According to recent audited figures from Northern Ireland Screen, the HBO produced fantasy adventure television series Game of Thrones has contributed an estimated £110m to the Northern Ireland economy. Many local companies have profited from providing services during production creating more than 900 full-time and 5,700 part-time jobs in the process. Due to the popularity of the series various locations highlighted on screen have become tourist attractions around the province. All of Houwers' creations are recycled or by-products of pest control and ethically are not sourced from fur farms.
