The city believes that the Marina as a whole will support the development of the entire coastal tourist area.
Kalajoki is about to receive major support for the development of the Hiekkasärkki tourist area.
The Government is proposing EUR 6 million for the construction of the Marina guest boat area, and Kalajoki has earmarked a similar amount in its investment programme.
The Marina area is intended to be the new attraction of the sand spits with its port, accommodation, restaurants and leisure facilities.
– The project supports the development of the Kalajoki tourist center and also the entire coastal Tourism area, Anttila believes.
If all the plans come true, the value of future investments and development activities in Hiekkasärki will rise to 500 million, the city estimates.
A total of approximately 2,000 accommodation places have been built and are still being built in the area.
