Tourism and Leisure

Coastal and marine tourism is an important sector in Europe and includes activities related to the establishment and running of infrastructure as well as to accommodation, transport and retail sale of goods/other expenditure. More specifically tourist expenditure in those sub-sectors is associated to beach and coastal-based activities, such as swimming and coasteering, and water-based or sport-type activities, such as sailing, scuba-diving, recreational fishing, cruising and marine wildlife watching.
