This component will have three sub-components: (i) the rehabilitation and enhancement of basic infrastructure in key historic sites; (ii) visitor services enhancement in selected destinations; and (iii) tourism product development. The second component is the market development. This component will focus on promotion and marketing activities. It will have the following two sub-components: (a) positioning and marketing; and (b) a demand-driven linkages program utilizing a matching grant scheme and providing support to communities.
