Newry Mourne and Down District Council aims to secure £30 million from Belfast Regional City Deal funds by 2030, proposing a tourism trail linking Slieve Gullion Forest Park to Delamont Country Park. The plan capitalizes on the regions natural assets, including 100 miles of coastline, four Blue Flag beaches, and a UNESCO Global Geopark. Despite previous setbacks, such as scrapped gondola schemes, councillors voted to develop an outline business case. However, concerns remain about costs and funding approval. A new group, Council Watch, supports the concept but criticizes the lack of details and past failures. The success of this project could significantly boost sustainable tourism growth in the area.
