In relation to the tourism strategic objective, tourism should also be supported as part of the development of the rural economy. This is highlighted as part of the rural communities strategic objective but for clarity it should also be cross referenced as part of the main tourism preferred option.
Agree that the focus should be on increasing overnight stays and not necessarily on increasing the volume of visitors. The option to protect existing accommodation will therefore help to achieve this objective.
