As more and more touri~ts arc discovering the Caribbean, central & S,luth America as alternative dC!ltinlltions to the Florida Keys we must capture and maintain these travelers interests now. To surviw we havc to enhMce our competitive 1U.tvHJ1tage. The Master plftJI will provide the blueprint to succeed before our current and potential tourist dollars go elsewhere. Jndirect benefits will include a more enhanced travel experience as the Master Plan is the action plan that will improve the highway experience. The in.terpretivc Plan will also provide the best 5tratcgy lor providing these interpretive information at the various trllil-hcads f'lr the FKOHT thal arc currently in the process ofbcinglocated and designed. 1t will also designate areas that need imflrovemcnt including naNral areas that have become chClkcd by inva~ive exotic vegetation, enhanccd tropical hahitats, improved landscaping and the schx,-tivc opening up of sc...-nic views and pull offs. The cost or ponion of the project that will enhance or interpret the byway's intrinsic q\UIlihcs, or otherwise serve primarily byway visilors or travelers: The entire cost ofthe project win directly, through product and infonnation or indirectly through the creation of best practices, identification and enhlUlcement of intrinsic qualities, and the provision of an implementation plan will cnhance or help to interpret the byways intrinsic qualities. 'mc relationship and priority of the project with other improvements or initiatives planned. underway or in place along the byway: The Interprctivc/Master PIM, reflecting the FKSHAG multi-year priorities. provides the r'lundotion on which 3 successful byway program will be constnll~tcd. Almost every :iingle goal & objective of the eMP and the eMl' Action Plan is somehow related back to this critical step.
