Tourism Issues

It can be hard to find out all you need to know about the latest issues in the UK tourism industry. You might find our free Introductory Guide to UK Tourism useful as a starting point or look at our overview of what's happening to the Regional Tourist Boards in each English region.

Are you still bemused about the new tourism structure in England? Do you think that it still isn’t quite right? Do you have any comments on the way that the Regional Tourist Board, Regional Development Agency and Destination Marketing Organisations are evolving in your area? If you’re unhappy about the situation or have any strong thoughts you’d like express, the Rt Hon Tessa Jowell MP is apparently interested in hearing them. You can email her directly on Tessa.jowell@culture.gsi.gov.uk She would welcome your input and has agreed to feed comments back to the relevant bodies. Call us nosey but we’d love to be copied in on any comments you do make!

The knowhow section will also give you more information.
Our forthcoming Tourism Handbook will handle current issues and trends in much more detail.


If you haven't already done so, you might like to take part in our tourism survey, or read about some of our findings to date and what we're planning to do with them.

We welcome articles (they can be anonymous if you want to be really controversial!) and suggestions for any issues that you think need to be addressed. In the meantime here are a few articles on subjects we find interesting

DDA - Comply or miss out on a £multi million market

Do Tourists still need Tourist Information Centres?
TV or not TV? Did anyone ask the question?
End of the line for the Visitor Travelcard
