Praising the work of the Northern Regional College students Kathleen McBride, Regional Manager, Tourism NI said: "This is a valuable contribution to our tourism product in the area and a terrific achievement for the students at Northern Regional College's interactive media foundation degree course. It is an outstanding example of the College applying the skills of students in a way which benefits the community and while also developing commercial applications for their work. Both students and lecturers should be very proud of their work".
Head of Department at Northern College, Stephen Price said: "Our students have produced a first class product which provides a unique opportunity for visitors as well as local businesses. The site offers information on local shops, cafes B&B's and services. The students involved in the project have learned a great deal about the research, technical skills as well as the commercial aspects of developing this application. Already the project has generated a series of web heritage/tourism commissions for the College which will enable our students to build on their foundation degrees and go further with their education and careers in this exciting industry.
