Retail, Tourism & the Local Economy – Understanding, implementing & promoting the links & benefits.
15 October 2014 – Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire
The link between tourism and the economy can be seen as the all-round panacea for regeneration. But is it a solution we should assume will rejuvenate and drive local economies? Careful consideration needs to be given to individual localities, their retail, their cultural and their heritage offers as well as their tourism offers. Tourism can be a major driver of the local economy but do we always make the connections? Why do people visit a place? How do we make a place viable in retail, and in other terms? Do historic towns have their own particular requirements? How do we develop and sell local distinctiveness? And is that what we should focus on?
This event, held in the award-winning Revive & Thrive town of 2014, considers these issues and looks at the links we could be making to ensure the retail and cultural offers suit local inhabitants as well as visitors, creating a tourism and retail offer that is tailored to the places we want to make.
With places as low as £35 this is a value for money event not to be missed.
