Warwick Castle supports the recognition that tourism is a key part of the local economy and that the Local Plan " should positively promote and actively deliver tourism". Warwick Castle welcomes the Council's support for the growth of visitor facilities and particularly the specific recognition of "those assets associated with the historic environment". The Local Plan should acknowledge the needs of existing tourism facilitie and, in particular,the need for an attrraction to diversify its offer to meet with the ever changing visitor demands.
The Local Plan should place a greater emphasis on the retention, enhancement and expansion of existing tourist atractions. It is considered necessary to include a policy on existing visitor attractions as part of the tourism strategy.
