The Northern Ireland Tourist Board is encouraging people to holiday at home this summer with the launch of a new campaign inviting you to take a trip down memory lane, recalling your favourite family breaks in Northern Ireland. Rediscover NI takes the form of a survey on childhood holiday memories amongst adults and has been launched with the aim of demonstrating how much Northern Ireland has changed over the past 50 years by encouraging people to revisit where they holidayed as a child. Pictured are the Hollinger sisters from Ballymena holidaying in Portrush in the 1960s.

Down, all within two hours drive of each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have fond memories of their family holidays in Northern Ireland, whether they reminisce about the Morellis ice cream they enjoyed walking along the Portstewart promenade, following in the footsteps of Giants at the Causeway or coming face to face with marine life on the shores of Strangford Lough, at Exploris Aquarium in Portaferry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever your memory is, we would like to hear it and you could be in with a chance to win a short break to rediscover your childhood holiday with your family today,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
