Engagement with the industry reveals that Belleek Pottery Visitor Centre benefits from its proximity to Donegal and the Wild Atlantic Way. It also has developed infrastructure that can accommodate large coach and bus tours as well as visitor servicing facilities. This is an indicator of what minimum enabling infrastructure requirements might work well next to other hubs of activities of tourist attractions.
