With "Game of Thrones" coming to an end after its eighth season, HBO is looking for ways to continue capitalizing on the popular show.
The company announced plans to turn locations in Northern Ireland into tourist attractions. That includes set locations such as Winterfell, Castle Black and Kings Landing.
“HBO is thrilled to celebrate the work of the 'Game of Thrones' creative team and crew by preserving these locations and inviting fans to visit Northern Ireland and explore Westeros in person,” said Jeff Peters, HBO’s vice president of licensing and retail. “The opportunity to celebrate Northern Ireland’s pivotal role in the life and legacy of the show and share its culture, beauty and warmth is also a huge inspiration behind these legacy projects.”
