EBR Tourism Development Plan

Closed

The EBRTP project is scheduled to take place over a three-year period to deliver a number of innovative cross- border, themed based tourism projects. The project builds upon existing cross border product development, visitor servicing and networking undertaken successfully through Interreg IIIA. This will result in a major positive impact on cross border tourism for the Region. The overall aim is to increase the contribution tourism makes to the economy of the Region and this will be achieved by delivering a co-ordinated programme of actions, which will greatly strengthen the tourism product as a whole. A summary of the project themes are outlined below: Christian Heritage: product scoping, cluster development, restoration, interpretation and development of key sites and access routes on a regional basis Marine, Water sports and Countryside Tourism: Integrated inland and coastal amenity/attraction development, quay enhancements, feasibility studies and activity tourism development Visitor Servicing: Integrated Cross Border Visitor Servicing Initiative including scoping study provision for new technologies, Tourist Information Centre Network enhancements; signage and visitor servicing manuals
