The project investigates all aspects of the practical logistics and business potential to establish a bi-directional yacht cruising route along the offshore areas of the Northern Periphery Area, stretching from the South of Ireland, to the UK (Northern Ireland and Western Scotland) on onwards to Norway. As an eco-tourism product, exploiting the natural resources of the zone in a manner that is sustainable and environmentally viable; this new sea route will be marketed internationally and will have a common branding, booking and information system. The objective of the project is to produce a Business and Marketing Plan, together with a Commercialisation Plan and accompanied by a Logistical Study and Practical Guide for potential entrepreneurs in the NPA zone, for the establishment of small mooring, berthing and ancillary facilities-such as shower blocks and laundry facilities for cruising yachts in remote NPA coastal areas; providing new market opportunities in sectors such as Tourism and Catering, Craft Production, Food, Marine and General Engineering Services, for remote local communities, mainly during the months of mid-April to mid-October. These opportunities will importantly also promote economic activity and interaction between communities across the programme area.
