(Note – This list does not includeaccommodation project ideas; they are presented later in this section by Economic Zone). Wehave not, however, assessed the market or economic viability of these project ideas, norwhether there is a business or group prepared to take them on. Such an assessment will berequired before any decisions are made about proceeding with any of these projects. Afurther list of other project ideas that were identified for each region and area, but that are notbeing advanced by the consultants for further consideration, is provided in Appendix II.It is important to note that the list below is not necessarily comprehensive. There may verywell be other projects that fit with the overall strategy that should be considered in the variousregions and destination areas. And, it may well be that some of the project ideas on this listare found, on further evaluation, to not be worthy of pursuit.THE ECONOMIC PLANNING GROUP of Canada Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism Product DevelopmentD.
