Visit England goes rural
VisitEngland Joins Forces with National Parks England to Boost Rural Tourism – SEE VIDEO
VisitEngland the national tourist board and National Parks England have committed to a three-year partnership designed to boost rural tourism and stimulate sustainable economic growth in England’s countryside.
Says Visit England: "The English National Parks are a crucial part of England’s visitor economy. They are national treasures for their wildlife, iconic landscapes and cultural heritage."
"For millions of people they offer fantastic opportunities to experience the natural environment, contributing to the economy and quality of life in England. Tourism is one of the main economic drivers of rural economies and the English National Parks alone contribute to between £4.1bn – £6.3bn to the economy."
VisitEngland and National Parks England will work on a number of issues together. Including:
- promoting National Parks to inspire more visitors
- encouraging greater collaboration between National Park Authorities and Destination Organisations at the local level
- and sharing intelligence and collaborating on research programmes.
VisitEngland Chairman Lady Cobham said:
"Visitors to national parks spend at least £4bn contributing about one third of the spend from rural tourism in England. They are part of the fabric of our rural tourism offering and sustain thousands of businesses which in turn employ 140,000 people. This partnership agreement outlines a number of important ways we can work together to ensure tourism works hand-in-hand with our natural assets to further boost rural tourism and ensure sustainable economic growth."
Chair of National Parks England and Exmoor National Park Authority, John Dyke said:
"England’s National Parks are known for being superb landscapes, rich in heritage and wildlife, but they are also valuable generators of wealth and economic activity. The Love Your National Parks celebration is a great opportunity to highlight how we can protect the environment, support the economy; and people have fun into the bargain. The launch of this Partnership Statement with VisitEngland aims to boost sustainable tourism, enabling more people to enjoy these wonderful places and all they have to offer."
