Under just transition funding, the tourism end of the plan includes allocations of €38 million under the regenerative tourism business supports and €30 million for the tourism trails network. Under strand 1, the midlands trails network will receive €30 million funding. That is a strategic network of trails to interconnect with the existing arterial greenway network. This is infrastructure for walking, cycling and water-based trails. Strand 2 covers amenity supports for businesses. This is a fund of €25 million. It is to support public, private and community based tourism enterprises to support and expand existing regenerative and sustainable tourism infrastructure. This will help local economies. Strand 3 covers alternative low-carbon accommodation and amounts to €3 million. This is for carbon-neutral and low-carbon small-scale developments at key strategic locations aligned to the trails network in strand 1.
