Games of Thrones is filmed across Europe but the show’s home base was in Northern Ireland where the production team work and most scenes take place.
Officials hoped that the tapestry would further enhance Northern Ireland’s appeal as a destination to fans of the hit series.
The series is thought to have boosted the province’s economy by as much as $200 million and in 2016 alone the number of tourists visiting Northern Ireland jumped by 12% to 2.6 million.
The series is increasingly popular in China and India - far from Northern Ireland’s traditional market - but local hoteliers have certainly noticed a change in their clientele and Games of Thrones is often the reason named for the visit.
