With the expected growth in tourism, the trust explains that the numbers visiting the Giant’s Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge are anticipated to grow.

 

Its NI director explained that it was the first time that a World Heritage Site had done work of this manner.

 

Heather MacLachlan said the survey would aim on “examining physical spaces, the environment, how visitors feel about their visits to these places and how we can work as good neighbours.”

 

The work, lasting between 12 and 18 months, will mainly target on the opportunities along with tourism impact.

 

Commoners have been invited to participate in a drop-in event at the Causeway Hotel on May 9th to find out more.

 

People will be asked to work together to set up a sustainable future for the region.

 

The Giant’s Causeway and the success of the Game of Thrones television series have motivated tourists to pour in huge numbers to the area.

 

But it can lead to sustainability issues.

 

The Dark Hedges – a tree-lined road made popular by Game of Thrones – undergone negative experience as a result of the number of people parking along it before restrictions were initiated.
