Ranking 4/12 Category Group 1: High priority for tourism development. 77
♦ Umm al-Qamari Island Summary Assessment Notes Scenic and landscape : Topographically relatively uninteresting, but coastal and marine features are of interest. Wildlife : Seasonally dense colonies of nesting seabirds would be readily viewed. Cultural/historical : No features of interest. Existing facilities : None available. Location and access : Difficult access, with no existing commercial ferry operations. Sensitivity / security : Safe for visitors, but small size of the island and the density of seabirds means that the wildlife would be extremely vulnerable to human visitors. Potential activities : - Rating 1 = highly suitable for tourism; 2 = moderately suitable for tourism; 3 = unsuitable for tourism at the present time, or with specialised or limited public appeal or capacity only; 4 = unsuitable for tourism in the foreseeable future. Scenery : 2 Wildlife : 2 Cultural/historical : 4 Facilities : 4 Access : 3 Sensitivity : 3 Summed Ratings = 18 Ranking 10/12 Category Group 3: Unsuitable for tourism development in the medium to long-term. 78
