That shows how little you understand about a lot of things though. Americans don't usually understand and/or care that there is a difference. They travel to Ireland (of which we are a part, both geographically and culturally) The next problem with that is that we are marketed as a whole Island by the annointed tourism body. You could find a lot of people who will have a long discussion about how much focus the Northern part of the island gets in terms of advertising etc. in foreign markets, at least in terms of BFS/LDY/BHD as a potential entry point. This has a knock on effect on Tourism related industry here
