A Master Plan was developed in an attempt to structure the tourism sector in the North West Coast region through an integrated regional tourism development plan. The Master Plan has identified the 100km coastline (from Matrouh City to Ras El Hekma ) as a destination for environmental tourism. Several projects were outlined to promote sustainable tourism and create local employment opportunities, reduce poverty and protect the local natural and cultural heritage.
