The National Forest Tourism Growth Plan (2017-2027) sets out an
ambitious 10-year strategic plan, the strategy looks to realise the
potential of the Forest as a visitor destination and how tourism
will contribute to transforming lives, the landscape and the
economy.
The strategy sets out how festivals will attract new visitors to
the forest, attract new visitors from a targeted market (New
Traditionals) present opportunities to showcase the Forest and its
values, and to expand perceptions of what a Forest experience can
be.
Our Local Growth Plan 2014-2018, section 5 ‘Place’
supports the priority of ‘developing proposals for increased
investment with the National Forest to extend the visitor
experience including expanding the recreational economy’.
Specific reference is made in the action plan to ‘develop the
local tourism and culture office in North West Leicestershire -
Increased visitor numbers into the District leading to increased
visitor spend; more overnight stays; a growing recognition of the
National Forest as a tourist destination and increased private
investment and employment opportunities in visitor related
facilities.
