After the presentations and speeches a discussion was opened on numerous topics regarding the project. A particular attention was drawn to the issues for which this project could offer solutions or assistance in finding the solutions: regulations concerning nautical tourism, issues regarding the procedure of crossing national borders, the problem of large distances among the existing marinas in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, the necessity for building marinas in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, the issue of shore devastation, requirements with respect to technical facilities in marinas...

Mrs Sanja Todorović task manager of the Joint Technical Secretariat for the IPA Cross Border Programme Croatia – Montenegro expressed her satisfaction and appreciation of the activities within the project which, in her own words, erased the borders through mutual efforts and co-operation. Elaboration of new tourism products – the booklet and the guide – useful not only to the tourists but also to other organisations and tourism agencies, will bring benefits to the wider community. Apart from the mentioned materials a website will be available www.nautour.info and it will remain active until 2019.

The round table ended with the conclusion that most of the set goals have been reached and some final results of the project can already be seen.
