The role and impact of tourism is something which is starting to be appreciated at every level of government. Tourism in the UK as a whole is worth £74 billion and supports 2.2m jobs and can deliver improvements in social and environmental conditions if managed appropriately. Improvements in cultural and educational access benefit both visitors and local population. The management of tourism locally is a vital role that cuts across a range of local authority activity including:
- Planning and economic regeneration
- Appearance of streetscapes and sense of place
- Parks, gardens, public spaces, beaches
- Car and coach parking/traffic issues
- Cultural tourism and sustainable tourism
- Basic facility management and cleansing
