Dublin firm to reinvigorate Causeway Coast area
A Dublin-based consultancy firm has been commissioned by the Government to prepare a tourism development masterplan for the Causeway Coast and Antrim Glens area.
Tourism Development International (TDI), which will be partnered by Ferguson McIlveen and Judith Annett Countryside Consultancy, is expected to address socio-economic regeneration of the whole north-east area, with a focus on the unique tourism assets of the Causeway Coast and Antrim Coast and Glens Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Commenting on the choice, Bruce Robinson, Permanent Secretary at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI), said said: “TDI convinced us that their skills and experience meant that they would do the best job for Northern Ireland.
“The firm will be holding a series of workshops in the region at which the relevant interest groups will have an opportunity to contribute to the plan which is to be completed by Christmas."
Mr Robinson said that through the initiative the DETI intends to link together tourist facilities right across the north-east of the Province so that larger numbers of visitors are attracted to the area and stay longer.
It is hoped that this will provide a boost to the economies of local communities and will encourage the development of sustainable transport links across the north-East.
