Tourism Scrutiny Review Report
From: Cabinet - Thursday, 28th November, 2024 7.00 pm - November 28, 2024
On 20 July 2023 the Tourism Review Working Party was set up by the Overview and Scrutiny Panel. The working party was tasked with a review of the negative impact of tourism on the district and how the Council could mitigate that impact on local communities. In August 2023 the Tourism Review Working Party commenced the planned review. This led to some findings and recommendations being identified through a report which was adopted by the Overview and Scrutiny Panel on 16 April 2024 and considered by Cabinet on 25 April 2024. At the meeting on 25 April this year the outcome report from that review was brought to Cabinet for its consideration. Cabinet agreed that officers bring back a report back to Cabinet after studying the various implications of the recommendations of the Tourism Review Working Party. A report was therefore brought to Cabinet on 28 November 2024 for decision.
Recommendations approved
