Tourism NI said it is has 'unfortunately' made 'some difficult decisions' including scrapping its National Tourism Events Sponsorship Scheme in the current financial year
The organisers of the Stendhal Festival in Co Derry say a decision to cut funding from Tourism NI just weeks before the event takes place is "staggering".
“To receive this letter, five weeks before our event, with no consultation whatsoever, is staggering”, he said. He continued: “The past number of years has just been one thing after another, coronavirus >Covid, cost of living and now severe, probably permanent funding cuts from our main tourist body. It is only a matter of time before a number of events in this country are gone forever because they are simply unaffordable for organisers to put on, particularly independent ones such as us.”
