Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to https://tourismni.com. This website is managed by Tourism Northern Ireland.

Tourism Northern Ireland is committed to making our website and applications accessible to our users. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How Do We Do This?

BrowseAloud - accessibility tool

BrowseAloud adds speech, reading and translation support tools to online content. It works on all major browsers and platforms, including mobile phones and tablets. All features are accessed from an easy-to-use floating toolbar located at the top right menu on all web pages. Note: The translation service uses a version of Google Translate which relies on translations already available online – for this reason it may not always be 100% accurate.

Text Size

You can change the text size on this application to make it either larger or smaller via your browser settings. Some browsers will allow you to magnify the whole page.

Consistent page headings and titles

A consistent heading structure has been used so that page information is compatible with access technology.

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
