[Andrew Clarkson]

Belfast's Titanic Signature complex hosted 200,000 visitors in the two months since it opened, Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster has revealed.

The figures augur well for the £77m project which has an annual target of 450,000.

It was officially opened at the end March by the Assembly's first and deputy first ministers.

Earlier this year, it was predicted that the centre would need 290,000 visitors a year to break even.

Visitors are guided through nine exhibitions, spread over four storeys, charting the history of the Titanic from its construction in the nearby Harland & Wolff shipyard to its final resting place at the bottom of the Atlantic.

Thats when you have more than two hours.

This is great news about the number of visitors. Just using the word "Titanic" on any thing seems to make the price go up. It is hard to see how this exibition could not attract big numbers. Ken.

Yep and think some of the things that they were selling was going a bit too far just because it had 'Titanic' on it. In my
opinion anyway.
