The term 'Nautical Tourism' is rapidly increasing in popularity, particularly in Europe and Central America much like what happened to the growth of the term 'Eco-Tourism' over the past 20 years. However, at present Nautical Tourism is relatively unknown in Australia.
The $1.5 billion (AUD) Shell Cove Project is being positioned to be a pioneer in Nautical Tourism in Australia. It is the largest tourist/residential project ever developed by Local Government Authority in Australia.
Shell Cove is a unique 'Nautical Tourism' package which provides many new examples of innovation which may inspire other areas to grasp tourism as a catalyst for economic growth.
