We strongly support the conclusions in paragraph 7.3 on the fact that the District economy may be missing out on additional income from tourism due to the low levels of overnight stays associated with the major attractions.

We agree with the approach in paragraph 7.8 that increasing the number of visitors to Warwick District that stay overnight will strengthen the local tourist economy. We disagree, however, with the discussion in paragraph 7.9, which states that national and regional policy only supports new visitor accommodation within town centres or as the reuse of rural buildings.
