Regional Multiplier

I am down in Devon enjoying the varied English coastline. I am staying near to the naval town of Dartmouth and making regular use of the car ferry to cross between Kingswear and Dartmouth. A new ferry arrived on the route last month and almost doubled the capacity of each sailing. Although the multi million pound ferry was built in Holland it was fitted out in Falmouth. The increased capacity will bring an increased number of tourists to an already popular spot. The original investment in the ferry and the increased passenger numbers are likely to bring significant regional multiplier effects to the south west economy.

There is a video clip on the new ferry here.
